Bravery

Kira slept in her own room tonight! She was really excited to use the Rapunzel lantern she made at Kaylee and Khloe’s birthday party so she set it up on her book shelf with a light from Amang and went to bed. Before she went to bed I heard her prayer…

Dear Jesus, thank you for Mommy and Daddy letting me sleep in my own room. Thank you for letting me be brave. Thank you for my lantern, my baby brother, and for Ava. Amen.

Bad Things

Daddy: Kira, I want you to know that me and Mommy love you so much and always will forever.
Kira: Even when I do humongous bad things? Like bring rocks and dirt in the house?
Daddy: Please don’t bring dirt in the house. 😐
Kira: I won’t because I’m just asking… I brought you rocks for your rock collection though. 😀

What’s what

Daddy: Do you remember what a palindrome is?
Kira: A palindrome is when a word is the same forward and backwards.

(A few minutes later)

Kira: Daddy do you know what a poop letter is?
Daddy: What???
Kira: When you make a poop and it’s shaped like a letter. 😀
Daddy: Oh. LOL 😐

Turtle

Today we went to a Halloween party at Kira’s bible school. After the games the church had setup different candy stations throughout and at one of the tables, two girls were holding a baby turtle about 3 inches long with a bow tied around it and let the kids touch it.

When the girls asked Kira, “Do you want to touch him?” and held the turtle out in their hands.
Kira walked up to the girls, picked up the turtle and put it IN HER CANDY BASKET!!!
The girls were shocked. Saying to each other “OMG she put it in her basket….”
So one of the girls went to take it back out of the basket and dropped it on the floor!
Kira was just acting normal, no big deal, just put a reptile in her candy basket. 😐

Orgazine

Kira loves to color and draw, she has hundreds of crayons and markers and a box that she keeps them in. She is also very particular about how they’re organized, or “orgazined” as she says.

Kira: Look Mommy and Daddy! I orgazined my marker box!
Daddy & Mommy: LOL wow!! Good job!!! (holding in laughter)
Daddy: Where did you learn that word?
Kira: You and Mommy ALWAYS tell me to orgazine my things… Orgazine means to make things nice and neat!
Kira: Orgazine. Orgazine. Orgazine….

Bad Dreams

Kira: Daddy can I pray so I don’t have bad dreams?
Daddy: Yeah sure, you can pray about anything whenever you want!
Kira: Ok…

Dear Jesus, thank you for giving me bad dreams… but I don’t love bad dreams.
You can give me good
dreams or silly dreams, but if you give me no dreams
that’s OK too. I just do not love bad dreams. Amen.

Scotch

Another random question from a four year old…

Kira: Daddy, did we adopt Scotch?
Daddy: What does adopt mean?
Kira: You know… When you save a pet?
Daddy: Oooh ok. Yeah we adopted Scotch.
Kira: That’s good, that means you saved him. Did you adopt him before I was here?
Daddy: Yeah Mommy adopted him before you were here.

Hanging Strawberry

Kira was feeling sick so she wanted to give me a check up. She told me to open my mouth and say “ahhhh”.

Kira: WHOA! Daddy, you have a strawberry hanging in your mouth! That is SO. COOL.
Daddy: Let me see yours.. Say “ahhhh”. OMG KIRA!
Kira: What is it???
Daddy: You have a hanging strawberry too!!!
Kira: Hahahaha YESSSS!!!
