Mergia

• Today you got to have your first sleepover with your cousins; Parker and Carson.  You were so excited that you couldn't wait.  You sat at the window and stared out waiting for them to come.  I said lets go to the store to help pass the time.  As we arrive to the store.  You start talking to me about planets, stars, moons and earth.  The sun in a star, the moon has rocks and we live on earth.  You asked me which planet was the smallest.  Uhhhhh!  I didn't know the answer.  Because Pluto is no longer a planet, I didn't know the answer.  You said Mergia was the smallest planet.  I thought you were just making up stuff.  So I texted David for the answer and he didn't know, I told him to ask everyone at work and get the answer.  He didn't know.  We finished our shopping.  I asked the grocery guy if he knew what the smallest planet.  He didn't know and he asked fellow cashiers and they didn't know.  I told him I would figure it out and let him know.  Right as soon as I was at the grocery door, the cashier run up and tell me that they figured it out and it was Mercury.  That is what you were trying to say, your understanding of Mercury translated into Mergia.  So once again you were right and I felt really dumb because you knew more than more.  So good job on your planet smartness, Mergia, Mercury is the same for my genius 4 year old who learned all this from Bubble Guppies.

Follow Me

This is by far my most favorite thing you have ever said in your life.  So wise you are.  This month in primary they are talking about prophets and how you can follow them. 
We have gotten you new pajamas recently because yes you are getting so big.  You get excited to see the number 6 in your pajamas even though you are 4.  We just bought some pajamas that have planets on them.  After wearing them for a week we realized that they glow in the dark.  Fun for you, you turn off all the lights and look at your pajamas.  Lately you have been talking about it being dark and being lost a lot.
The other night you had your glow in the dark pajamas on and you started talking to me about prophets and I really wasn't listening.  So you went downstairs and tried your luck with Jarom.  Later Jarom came up and I asked him if he got a lesson about the prophets which you mentioned earlier.  This is how your conversation went with Jarom.
"Jerm, if you were lost and in the dark, who would you follow?  Me or the prophet?"
The correct answer is to follow Dexter; because your pajamas glow in the dark and you would know the way to go. 
Priceless!!!

Crazy

Funny thing from you again.  You are way to smart for your age that is for sure.  Our blinds kept falling down in the living room.  You told me that we had to fix it.  The next day we ventured out to IKEA and bought some new blind brackets.  That night Curtis starts putting them on.  Now when Curtis gets going on a project he gets his "Carl" on.  Which means he gets so focused he looks grumpy and tunes everything out.  You will probably get your "Curtis" on when you get older.  Dad kept using a chair to fix the blinds, so you go in there and tried getting his attention.  You wanted to tell him to use the step ladder instead because it is safer.  You tried multiple times to get his attention and he just ingnores you.  You even say, dad why aren't you listening to me.  After all your failed attempts, you come into the kitchen, uggggggh!!!.  I asked what is wrong and you say, "Dad is driving me crazy, he won't even listen to me."  I ask you if you were only trying to help dad, you yell yes and than run back into dad and yell at him, "I was only trying to help you."
