Insect Catcher

We have lots of insects in our house always...since there are no screens and well, we live in the jungle. In the evenings it is the worst and Kai runs around pointing them all out. One day he kept picking them up. I know, he's a boy, but who knows what he could be picking up and if it could sting him, so I encouraged him not to do it. So the other night the smart kid his is, grabbed a clothes pin and began gathering up insects with it....I would have never thought of that!

Sweet Prayers

Kai has begun praying lately and it is the sweetest thing. There is nothing I would rather hear than my son talking to his Heavenly Father. They usually go something like this:

It's Jesus, It's Jesus, It's Jesus (he repeats this until he gets his thoughts together I think...it could either be "yes Jesus, or dear Jesus", but it sounds like "it's Jesus"...then he goes into to thanking God for people and things...

Thank you Daddy, thank you Mommy, thank you Kai, thank you (from here is varies....Boppa, Pa, Grandma Julie, the 40/40s...and anyone else who might randomly pop into his mind). He also thanks God for random things like--Thomas engine, big Thomas (yes he has two), bed, arms, trucks...and so on. He always ends his prayers with a hearty "Amen"!

It is precious and each night I leave his bedroom amazed at his sweet little heart and his ability to express himself...to us and to His Lord!

Bathtime!!

Kai is loving bathes lately...cold ones...and in this jungle heat who could blame him!

Moto watching

This is one of Kai's favorite spots...at the window watching all the "bicelcycles" (what he calls the mototaxis and motorcycles)
