Javik decided tonight to play restaurant. Not just any restaurant... a FANCY restaurant... Then he brought me a meal prepared by Chef Javik & his robot team. Each piece was a different item on the menu, the 2 & 3 prong trains were the salt & pepper!
I love his imagination! I love his confidence in himself and his willingness to play... never worrying whether those listening will think his ideas are silly. I know that over the years he will lose some of that. The world just does that to us... but my prayer is that his life would be filled with confidence & passion that comes from knowing who he is in Jesus...
and that he would always be willing to live in a way that this world considers silly.

Jav comes out of the bathroom holding the toilet brush...
"Um, can I clean the toilet with this? I pooped in there a LOT!"
Awesome.

Tonight after getting out of the bath, Jav says "Well, looks like this angel is dirt-free!"

oh brother....

tonight while I was putting Javik to bed, he propped himself up on one elbow and said "So, uh, anyways....." and then let one rip!
I said "Jav?!"
He grinned ear to ear and said "...THAT's what you call a 'tootie-surprise'!!"

thank you Cole Jr. thank you.

Yesterday I asked Jav to pick up his dinosaurs & put them in his bag. He picked up a few and then got distracted... I said "Jav, your dinosaurs." "Oh yeah"... so he picked up a few more, then got sidetracked... "Jav, your dinosaurs." "Oh yeah"... ... ...
After the 4th rotation in this conversation I said, "Dude what's the deal?"
He said, "Mommy, I'm sorry! Sometimes I just lose focus!"
=]

Then he & I went on a little date tonight... to "the Subway" for sandwiches. While we were there he told me some pretty great stories.
Then he said: "Mommy, I'm a good guy! Good guys are bad guys to the bad guys, and good guys to the good guys. That's the order of guys."
I said, "Oh really"
to which he replied, "Oh yeah... its pretty powerful."

LOL

Javik & I found some sidewalk chalk so we drew ourselves a little hopscotch game...
afterward Jav said to me:
"Mommy, that was the greatest hopscotch experience I've ever had!"

I wonder how many hopscotch experiences he's had?!
lol

Today on the way home:
Jav - "I can't get this string off my leg!"
me - "well it can't be that hard..."
Jav - "mommy, its actually quite difficult!"

WOW.

However, just when I think he's a genius... he proceeds to eat the snow off of his own shoe...?!
rats. so close.
