I'm taking my first turn at home since Little Boy's heart cath on Tuesday. I miss him to pieces, but I was missing the other kids terribly too, and I hadn't slept well in days. So I came home last night, slept like a rock, and have been enjoying a real break from the ICU life. I have been saving up some funny things the kids have said and thought I'd share them today.

Last night, I walked into the house, and Older Boy spotted me. A big smile spread across his face, and he ran to give me a big hug.
"I MISSED you, Mom," he said. "We had to wait a hundred million waits for you to get home."

Today at lunch, Little Girl was munching on caramel corn. All of a sudden, she said, "Mom, I can't figure out how to get jelly beans into my tummy."
Knowing that she has the mechanics of eating down, I was a little confused. "Why's that, honey?"
"They stuck on my teef a wot."

Julie brought some dinner for Elli last week. The next day, we still had some leftovers so I asked Older Boy if he'd like some.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Lasagna," I answered.
He thought a minute, then said, "I like you-zohn-yuh. I'll eat some."

Scott reviews a child-friendly version of the Westminster Shorter Catechism with the kids at bedtime. He was asking questions about Adam and Eve, such as "How did God make man?" (The answer is "God created man male and female.")
Scott asked, "What did God promise to give to Adam?"
Older Boy answered, "Email and a female."
