sayings to remember

eli and i were reading the story of jonah today. when we got to the page where the great fish was about to swallow jonah, eil said, "i wish daddy could catch a fish like that."

you know the saying "it isn't what you say, it's how you say it." i got a does of that today. eil was being a bit of a 2-year-old, ignoring and testy. i was putting him in his car seat when he was fidgeting and would not sit so i could strap him in. "eli, put your bottom in the seat," i said with a furrowed brow. he looked up at me, smoothed his fingers over my eyebrows and said, "put them like that." nuf said.

and lastly, he is so into being "big." he was saying how when he gets "big" he can carry uncle jesse around. first off, my brother is about 6'3" tall, and second, why would he want to carry him around? guess i'll never know.
