Out of the Mouth of an almost 5 year old!

Yesterday I was talking to Andrew about the bible story he had at church and asked him what they did in class. He told me that they played Duck, Duck, Goose. Hopefully this was after they followed up on the bible story. Anyway, I asked him if he had fun and he replied, "I didn't get to be the ducker because nobody goosed me." I just about fell out of my chair but didn't let him know that. I thought it was so funny the way he said it! Of course, I also felt a little sad for him (once again I didn't let him know that) because the last time he told me about playing this game at church he didn't get picked then either. He seemed fine about it.

Then, last night he went back to church with me for the evening service and I saw the teacher had chosen him to be up front to say the bible verse. I got called out of the room right then and missed it so today I asked him about it and he said, "I didn't get to do it." I asked him why (I clearly saw her motion for him to come up front) and he said "She called a different Andrew and I was disappointed!"

I can't believe this little guy is about to turn 5 years old and goes to Kindergarten in August. I don't know if it's because he is my oldest but I cry every year when I have to pick out a card for him. Yes, dad, I still cry in the store when I look for his card. I think David is going to have to carry me out of the school the first week. Andrew will be fine....I won't! 'See' you all soon!
