Things Kids Say

My 6 1/2 year old boy:

His name is Eli Tzvi, Eli was a high priest, it is the spiritual side and Tzvi means deer, so it is after the human/animal side.

"When you do a Mitzva, a good deed, God gets bigger."

Today we were talking to my parents for my daughter's birthday on Skype, and my son was talking about God getting bigger when you do a Mitzva.  I have not always been observant, but I have always been spiritual and connected, what he said is so deep, so wise, so beyond his years.  I know he is going to be deeply connected like I am and it is going to serve him throughout his whole life.  He will be a leader and a wise man, and in his own words, a scientist, baker, police man, father, and a pilot.

On the animal/human side, he was asked to make up a celebration day to put on the calendar, and he called his "pooshalaka day," it is a day to make up funny words.

My 5 year old birthday girl, born March 8, 2010:

"It's too loud."
(referring to her new Frozen comforter that I got her for her bed)

When I was laying down with her the other night when she was not feeling good, we covered both of us with her new Elsa blanket, and it really was loud when you shuffled about.  Thank God she is dealing with it, as you have to with the ups and downs of life.  I cannot go shopping without her, she knows exactly what she likes, but is open to reason and waiting for the right time.

She also told me that she knows how to operate her teachers smart phone, her teacher needed help and she was the only one out of all adults and kids who figured it out.  The teacher asks my daughter to help other kids use the mouse on the kids computer and find programs.

My almost 3 year old little guy:

"I'm disappointed." and "It's my job."

I do not know where he heard it or learned it, but whenever he is unhappy with anything, nothing necessarily big, he says I am disappointed.  He has to go to every person and let them know.  He also tells me that it is his job to go to the bathroom, eat, sleep, and play.

Today is also International Women's Day, a big deal all around the world, and huge in my birth country Russia.  Wishing all of the beautiful, strong, independent, smart, creative, kind, giving, caring, and everything else we are, wishing all of the women of the world a beautiful day!

Today we also spring forward with our clocks, and I may be one of the few people that were happy to lose an hour.  My kids wake up way too early everyday, so instead of 6am it was already 7am and we could get going with our day.

We are all feeling OK,
Not 100%, but Functional,
I will take it,
