Two funnies from the Javinator....
1.  He's playing T-Ball this summer... which is in itself quite a sight.  Kind of herding cats if you ask me.  He's playing in Harrisburg since its so much closer for us to drive to practices & games.  So at the end of his first practice, his whole team put their hands in and on 3 they yelled "Harrisburg Bulldogs!"  All fine & good right?!  
Fast forward a few days... we're in the car talking about Jav's team.  Cole says "I don't even know what your team's name is Jav."  To which Jav casually replies, "Oh, it's Hotdogs Bulldogs!"
:)
2.  We're in the middle of VBS at our church.  and I'm helping lead the music.  So Jav & I are practicing the songs & actions during the day so that I'll be ready to teach them at night.  Today we practiced our song for tomorrow night.  The chorus says "If God is for me, who can be against me?"  (Which is awesome doctrine & I hope that as the kids learn the song they're hiding those words in their hearts!)  So after practicing, Jav is singing his heart out around the house.  Only he's singing these words:  "If God is boring, who can maybe kiss me?!"  So close....
(We did correct him, but how cute is he?!)  :)

A Real-Life Bedtime Story

This is the actual conversation I had with the Javmeister tonight while tucking him in.....

Javik, did you have fun tonight at the track with daddy?

Yes.  We were at a track meet.

You were actually at a prayer walk, at the track...

Oh.

Do you know why you were at the track praying?

Yes... because John Michael's dad told us to.

:)

Oh.  Do you know what today is?

No.

Today is called the "National Day of Prayer"

The "National Day of Prayer"?!

Yes, it's a day where people all over the United States get together and pray for our country and for 

President Obama...

Who's President Obama?!

He's the President of the United States.

There's a President right now?!

Yep, there's always a President.  He's the one who leads our country.

Oh.

Do you know who was President when you were born?

No.

President Bush.

(lots of giggles... apparently Obama doesn't strike him as a funny name, but Bush is hilarious!)

Did you say push or bush like with leaves?

I said Bush like with leaves.

(more giggles)

Was President Bush the president when I was 1?

Yes, and then while you were 1, President Obama took over.

And who took over when I was 2?

Well, President Obama gets to be President for 4 years... so next fall, when you're 5, we'll get to either pick President Obama again, or we'll get to pick someone else.

I think we should pick someone else.

You do?

Yes.  And I know the name of who I want to pick.....  George Washington!  He's my favorite president!

He is?

Yes!  Him and Abracam Lincoln.

His name is Abraham Lincoln.

I like to say it by-ever I want (instead of however...?) and I like to say Abracam.

Fine, say Abracam.

OK.  I love George Washington and Abracam Lincoln.  They were great presidents. And they're on my money!

They were great presidents.

Are all of the presidents dead?

No, but most of them are because a lot of them were president a very long time ago.

(Jav gets a very serious look on his face......)

Mom.  Is George. Washington. dead?

(hesitantly) Yes.  He is.

Oh my!

(Jav covers his mouth with his hand and has a look of horror in his eyes)

Well, he was president a very long time ago.  If he were alive, he would be very, very old.

(in a whisper)  and Abracam Lincoln?

Yes, he's dead too.  He also was president a very long time ago.

(He covers his entire face, and from beneath his little hands I see one giant crocodile tear slide down his cheek...)
My boy was literally crying, nay - weeping, at the revelation that his two favorite presidents were dead!
We finally were able to recover by quoting our favorite lines from the Wizard of Oz....  Jav does a great impression of the Lion!  :)
Finally, after discussing a few other (random) topics, like the 8th grade dance (when I told him I had to go he said "Oh, that's horrible!") and why Lotso was such a mean bear in Toy Story 3 (we decided he just needed someone to love him), my boy & I prayed together and he drifted off...
Can you believe the things he thinks of?!  I am so unbelievably blessed to be his mom!
Man, I love that kid!

OK... I know I have seriously neglected the Javisms since the Nader became a Big Brother!  Have no fear, though, the funnies have not slowed a bit...

I recently took Javik for his Kindergarten screening, and the whole time he tried to include the screener in the fun...
She said "Javik, can you hand me a blue circle?"  He said, "Sure!  Now, can you hand me a yellow triangle?"  I nearly LOL'd from the table where I was sitting.  It's hard to believe my baby boy will be going to kindergarten so soon... but he is SO ready to go!

Earlier this week, as we were driving to town, Javik was telling me about how he's getting so big... I agreed with him and said "You & Zailey are both growing so fast I don't even know what to do." 
He looked at me with that look and said "Not Zailey!  She's been a baby the whole time I've known her!"

In the evenings Javik likes to entertain us with songs he's learned.  One evening he was singing (quite passionately) a song about growing up.  Except that Jav had apparently misunderstood the words while practicing at school because he was singing:
"I'm rowin, rowin, rowin, a little bit every day!  In lots of different ways I'm getting stronger!  I'm rowin!"
So Cole said, "Jav, I think maybe that word is growing, since it's a song about growing up."
Again, that look, "No.  I'm pretty sure it's rowin, because the title of the song is Rowin.  So growing wouldn't make sense."
If you say so...

I know there are some I'm forgetting from just this week alone... I'll make an effort to post as I remember them! 

Yesterday, on the way to see the Dr., Jav & I discussed how God is putting baby Zailey together in my belly and how when she's ready, she'll be born...
Fast forward to tonight in the car, when out of the blue he pipes up: "Mom! I hope when God is putting Zailey together He doesn't forget her forehead!"
LOL

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....
