So this is what we have to look forward too! Saaweet!!!!

A couple of Sunday's ago we were sitting around the dinner table with Mike's Parents, and were talking about what the kids learned in church that day. Charlie's lesson was on how we all get to go up to heaven and live with Heavenly Father again after we die. I know this because I am one of his teachers. Well let me tell you, he is so good at listening. Mom, "Charlie, where do we go after we die? Do you remember, we learned this in church this morning?" Charlie, "Yeah Mom, (very excited) we go to Yoda's House." He said it like there was no question. I love it. He totally love Star Wars. Every thing he plays with is a light sabor. He kills me. He is also doing this new thing saying that he wish's for things. For example, Charlie had just awakened from a nap and comes to me and says, "Mom, I wish that we could have bear skin." Mom, "Why Charlie?" Charlie "Because we could be so soft and warm, and I could snuggle with me." Mom, "Oh, thats a good idea, did you have a dream about bears today?" Charlie "Yeah, Mom, them are really nice you know."
I love him, and what comes out of that mouth!

What a tender heart

The other day I was in the kitchen cutting up watermelon for our neighborhood lawn party, and I sat Charlie in front of my computer to watch a movie to keep him preoccupied. I put the Polar Express in, one of Charlie favorites. He was memorized by the movie which was nice because I was pushing it time wise. Hopefully you have seen the show so that you will remember the part about the movie I am about to describe. During this certain scene a little poor boy is on the back of the train singing about how he has never seen Christmas before, and the little girl is singing with him but telling him how wonderful it is. It really is a touching scene, but to my surprise Charlie turns around and looks at me with tears falling down his checks, and said in a soft choked up voice, "Mommy, This is so sad, the little boy has never seen Christmas before. It just is making me so sad." OK so that just made me brake down go over and give him a huge hug and shed some tears with him. Not because the movie is so sweet, but that my little boy is so sweet and tender that he was so moved a silly animated movie. He just might drive me crazy most of the day, but these are the moments that I will treasure forever.
