We were in the car driving home from the library and Alex began firing off questions about Santa Claus. I kept answering them to which he would always reply, "But how?" "But why?" "But how?" "But why?" My answers about magic did not satisfy. He wanted to know how the magic worked. My answers about Santa clause having helpers and being special and this and that did not work. He wanted to know why and how and why and how.
Sooooo.....I finally said, "Well Alex, you when something is pretend it can be whatever and however you want it to be."
He energetically replied, "Mommy! Santa Clause is NOT pretend! He is REAL!!"
I said, "Okay then. Well, I don't have any more answers for you Alex. I don't know how he does what he does."

Wonderful Dinners
At a very random time of day....
"Mommy, thank you for always making such wonderful dinners for us."

Must Haves for a House
Alex often talks about what he would like to have when we move to Arizona. So far he has said:
"Mommy, when we have a house in Arizona can we have one with no couch so I have more room to run?"
"Mommy, when we have a house in AZ can we have a big huge yard so I can run and play?"
"Mommy, when we have a house in AZ can we have a garage so we can just get into our van right from our house?"
"Mommy, when we have a house in AZ can we have one with a fireplace so Santa doesn't have to come through the front door anymore?"
Now these things are very very important.

Testimony Meeting
On Christmas Eve after we act out the Nativity, we have a family testimony meeting where we share our testimony and love for the Savior Jesus Christ. I think Alex's heartfelt testimony sums up the Spirit of the Season.....in his words.....
"I know that Jesus Christ is our brother. I know that Jesus keeps us safe where we belong."
Rebekah's was sweet too:
"Blebbedy blebbedy blebbedy . . . in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

4 Year Olds Do Weird Things . . .
Alex was peeing and I busted up laughing because he seemed to have discovered how to stop and start his pee in mid-stream. :)
He looked up at me with a big silly grin on his face and said, "What's so funny?"
I replied, "Its just funny that you are starting and stopping your pee. When did you learn to do that?"
He said, "Well. Ya know. When you turn 4 years old, you just do weird things sometimes . . . and you don't even know it!!"
