Car Conversations With Camryn

"Hey Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"I need to go to JCPenney's."
"JCPenney's? For What"
"I need to get Dad a Christmas present."
"From JCPenney's? What are you wanting to get him?"
"A Christmas Shirt."

I can just see Luke wearing a Christmas shirt with little snowmen on the front of it, can't you?

"Mommy, how old is God?"
"Ummmm....well, He's always been. He's always existed. I guess you could say He doesn't have a birthday."
"MOMMY! God has a birthday, it's Christmas!!!"
"OH! You're right"

How do you explain this to a 4 year old?

For the past couple of weeks, when I've pick Camryn up from school she's been complaining of these kids that have been calling her a baby. After a couple of days of this I told her that she just needs to ask them nicely not to call her a baby anymore. The next day she came home and said that she talked to the little girl who had been calling her a baby and asked her not do it. The girl agreed and said they could be friends. Her exact words were "Mommy, I trained her not to call me a baby anymore, now I just have to train those 2 boys!" Yesterday she told me that one of the little boys she has now trained not to call her a baby. She now has one more left to train!
