How would YOU answer this question?

So, as most of you know, Noah is still in diapers. Well, I just got finished changing him - and he had a stinky - and Eli, who is ever so tactful, crinkled his nose and said, "Ewwww.... that's gross!" And Noah knows what's going on, and I didn't want him to feel embarrassed, so I just calmly said, "No it's not. Everyone poops." - so here's our conversation:

Eli: Ewwww.... that's gross.
Me: No it's not. Everyone poops.
Eli: Everyone?
Me: Yep, everyone.
Eli: Even God? Does God poop?
Me: Ummm.... well.... ummmm... I don't know about that one.
Eli: So is God nobody?

I just told him to wait and ask Daddy when he gets home. And hopefully he'll forget by then. But it completely caught me offguard.

Sooooooooooo.... how would you have answered that question? Does God poop?

Ummmmm...this must have been debated by some noted theologians. Maybe you just need to google it. :-D
Personally, I think I would have said God doesn't poop but everyone else does and look isn't that squirrel out in the yard funny....

Yeah, can you imagine all those theologians sitting around pondering that question? lol. I like your answer better - and we do have lots of squirrels, so it would have been a very legit distraction. :-)
LOVE your blog. It's so creative. Do you actually sew all those animals yourself? And whatever happened to that children's book? Weren't you writing one?

Jesus, God made flesh on the earth, took a dump just like the rest of us.

God, however, is perfect - thereby having no need to eliminate waste. God is the absence of waste.

Yeah ... say it like that ... THAT will clear it up! lolol

Okay, Christine. But if he has further questions, I'm sending him over to YOUR blog. lol.

4 year olds, eh? There's never a dull moment in our house with Eli around. :-)

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Acceptance and Moving Forward

It's been so long since I posted here. I wasn't even sure that I would remember my password. And, actually, I really haven't planned anything to write out, but I just had this overwhelming urge to post today. Maybe so that I can look back on this post next year and see how far we've come, I'm not sure. But here we are... and here I am.... 2016 was a challenge. Not just for our family, but for everyone it seems. I look around and 2016 just seems to be a year of hurt. It was a tough year on so many levels.  A little over a year ago, on December 23, 2015, we were told that my husband most likely had a certain lung condition that gave him only three years to live. We are so fortunate that it was NOT what they thought, but it led us straight into 2016 full of fear and despair.... feelings which continue all the way through today.... and may lead into 2017. To condense a very long story that's full of grief and misdiagnoses and full on panic attacks (for me), I wi

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
