Apples, Nutcrackers, and Noah


  • Apple? Is there more apple?


Joshua's sweet voice posing this simple question is music to my ears. Up until this past week he has been a frustratingly stubborn eater, refusing any sort of fresh fruit in favor of a strict diet of refined carbohydrates. In the wake of his recent illness, however, his body must be telling him that he needs more vitamins, because he has suddenly decided that he loves apples and wants to eat them all the time! Instead of asking for crackers, he will ask for apples. It really warms my heart.

  • All better! All clean!


The boys will say this after I kiss and/or pray for a boo-boo. It's interesting to me how they associate healing with being clean.

  • Two nutcracker... brothers!


The other day Caleb was admiring a pair of nutcracker oraments on Mimi and Papa's Christmas tree when he made this sweet observation. The boys (especially Caleb) love pointing out two of anything. They can now count up to 6 and they know their numbers 1 to 10.

  • Jesus! Noah!


As far as the boys are concerned, any man with a brown beard is Jesus. Any man with a white beard is Noah. The one exception is that they think that Santa Claus is Jesus, which I am quite content to let them believe!

  1. Katie, when Gabe was 2, he called everyone with a white beard Noah. LOL.
