From the mouths of big boys...

I've promised myself I'd start writing down some of the sweet, smart, and flippin' hilarious things Arlo says so I won't forget them.  Here are a couple from lately...

Sweet:

Arlo started a church preschool at the beginning of September.  He loves it and I love that he loves it (plus I love the rare one-on-one time with Nolan!).  They sing a blessing before snack.  I'd been asking him to sing it for me but couldn't get it out of him. Today, the teacher sent the lyrics home.  It is this one:

Oh, the Lord is good to me,
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
The sun, and the rain, and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me.

So I sang it in the care with him on the way home today. After I was done, he quickly corrected me.  

"Mommy, no, you have to make praying hands. Like this."

(Shows me his little praying hands.)

"And you have to say 'Amen' at the end." 

Soooo sweet. 

And here's a hilarious one to balance all that sweetness out:

You might know that I have a mild (usually) case of road frustration ("rage" is a little strong). But I learned I am not keeping it under control enough when Arlo recently said, 

"Mommy, do these idiots know how to drive?".

Oops.  

Today, he said, "These cars are driving me nuts." That's a little better, right???
