Elmo went to Heaven

November 24, 2012 – 9:07 pm

Tonight, Elmo went to Heaven…

As I’m putting Cole down tonight he said that he wanted to tell “Elmo stories” – his version of talking about things that are on his mind rather than reading a story.

“God is coming today Mommy!  It’s a VERY SPECIAL day! But, it’s only for Elmo.  Look, here goes Elmo, up on the cloud.  It’s veeeeerrrrryyy cold on the cloud, like this (woooooooooo) and very quiet too.  Look!  Elmo’s in Heaven now.  It’s BEAUTIFUL!  Elmo has an orange bed that’s VERY soft, and an orange bunny.  Oh, and pink carpet!”

Is God good at playing?

November 8, 2012 – 7:50 pm

 

While tucking Cole in to bed this evening, I gave him a kiss and headed for the door.

Cole: “Mommy? How did Jesus make God?”
Mom: “Well, it didn’t really work like that.  We call God ‘The Father’ and Jesus is the son.”
Cole: “But if God is the father, how did He start?”
Mom: “What good thinking Buddy.  The truth is, He’s just ALWAYS been there.  He never started and He’ll never end.  He just is.”
Cole: “Ok.  Mommy? Is God good at playing?”
Mom: “I’m sure He is!”
Cole: “And when I’m playing with him, what if I get cold? Will He give me a warm blanket?”
Mom: “He will take such good care of you, yes!”
Cole: “Ok.”

A huge audience

November 5, 2012 – 1:20 pm

Cole loves the organ.

He loves watching people play the organ, he loves listening to the organ, and he likes playing the keyboard (always set to organ).  So there’s a bit of fascination with anyone who can be up-front and play one.  This week Cole got a really special treat –  he got to actually sit up with Mr. Gary (Fresk).  Mr. Gary was just finishing his postlude, for which Mommy and Cole sit on the stairs directly below to watch “up close”. Right after the conclusion of the postlude as people are clapping, Mr. Gary motions Cole up to sit with him at the organ.  Cole, understandably, is so excited he can hardly walk over there. Mr. Gary then turned the volume WAY down and let Cole play some while people were leaving the sanctuary! .  To say Cole was excited is an understatement. Mom was afraid he would pee his pants…literally.

He was ecstatic! Thrilled! Amazed! and deliriously happy!

He’s riding a bike!

Cole’s riding a 2 wheel bike on his own!    Very proud day for us and for Cole.  Cole decided it was time to ride his bike so after a few weeks of practicing with a balance bike he asked to have his training wheels off.  One week later he’s riding on his own.  Good job buddy!

Extra Cranky

October 29, 2012 – 6:41 pm

Tonight Cole was having a terrible evening.  Once I got him in to bed, he kept begging for more and more and more snuggling.  After telling him no, it was time for sleeping he replied “but I’m extra cranky so I need extra snuggles.”  Not bad for 3-year old logic.
