A Little Emma Claire

*Tonight when I was putting Emma Claire to bed she told me that she might have a hard time falling asleep. She said that when you have a full mind you have a hard time falling asleep sometimes. Very true, my girl.

*The other night at dinner Emma Claire was eating cantaloupe and found that it had small white seeds in it and so she casually laid 3 of them to the side. Later when we were outside playing I saw her dig a hole, put the seeds in it, and then grab a bucket of water to water them. She told us that we didn't have to worry because tomorrow we would have 3 more cantaloupe to eat. : )

*Emma Claire knows Bible Stories like nobody's business and loves us to read her the Bible. The other night she decided that she was going to read all the way through the Bible to us. As she flipped the pages and told us things that was going on I just had to grin at her knowledge.

• "Mommy, you see this picture? Their faces are sad because they wanted to be king but Jesus is the only true King."
• "The last supper was Jesus last supper. He ate the bread and wine. The bread was to remember when He was dead and the wine was to remember His body when there was blood on it."
• "Judas was very not nice. Judas needed to do a bad thing and Jesus said 'go do what you need to do', but Judas just ran back for Jesus and the soldiers marched and found Him. And hurt Him and took Him to the king and the king said 'go put Him on the cross!' and that was a very sad day."
• "Jesus died and it was a very sad day, but he wasn't dead for long! In three days, He woke Up!"
• "The angel rolled the stone away and the soldiers fell because everything was shaking."
• "There was only one person who didn't give up. It was Mary. She never gave up. But she didn't recognize Jesus. Jesus asked her 'who are you looking for?' He scared her."
• She also asks really HARD questions:
• "Who is God's daddy?"
• "If God made everything, then who made God?"
• "If Jesus died on the cross and God and Jesus are the same then did God die, too?"

*One morning Benjamin took Emma Claire to eat breakfast with he and some of his friends and about lost his breakfast with a statement Emma Claire made. She told everyone at the table that she had a boyfriend. He about lost it until she finished the statement, 'my boyfriend is Camp.' For now, I think we're okay with that! : )

*Emma Claire and Camp are usually great together but the other morning Camp was giving Emma Claire a hard time. She made the statement to him "Camp, I love you, but I don't like you today."

*A few weeks ago when we were traveling to Mississippi we stopped at a Cracker Barrell in Nashville, TN to eat breakfast. While we were there the waitress came by and asked Benjamin if 'ya needed anything'. Emma Claire quietly leaned over to me and said 'Mommy, that lady thinks Daddy's name is Janine." (If your having trouble say it real southern drawl 'ja need anything'.) : )
