I got to work this morning, only to find out that Caleb started puking and had to turn around and come home. I got him home and put him in our bed so he could watch Noggin. He came out to the kitchen a few minutes later, moaning "mommy I love you." I said I love you too baby, as my heart skipped a beat. Next thing I know he starts puking on the floor...so I take him to the potty where he continues to throw up. Between heaves I hear this little small voice going, "ooooohhhh Jesus help me!" It broke my heart he feels so bad, but it was still really cute. I said baby are you done? To which he says, "mommy I want Jesus to make me stop puking." So we prayed for his sick tummy and bag to bed he goes....
He feels soooooooooo bad, but it was just so stinking cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theological Discussion with a 3 yr old (couple weeks ago)
Ok so I've gotten really bad with keeping up with this, but since I'm home with a sick kid (that blog will come after this one), I figured I'd type this out really quick (you are welcome Mom). Caleb and I were in the car coming home one evening, when he asks me a question, "Mommy where's Jesus?" I told him, Jesus is everywhere which he couldn't understand, so I said Jesus is in heaven baby, watching over us. Then he said "Why can't I see him." So, I figured I'd attempt to explain an abstract idea. I said: "well Jesus is invisible, but he's still there. Caleb says "mommy, what's biz-ble" I said, do you know how you go outside and feel the wind?" He said "yes". I said "well you can't see the wind, but you can feel it. It's still there right?" He said yes...and I said, "it's just like Jesus, you can't see Him, but He's there just like the wind." At this point, we had come up to a stoplight right beside a wooded area. Caleb becomes silent and looks out the window at the trees. I sit thinking, hmmmm...I guess that was a great answer Mom!! Then I hear the following, "Mommy are squirrles biz-ble?" I looked out the window for the squirrel and of course, there are none to be found. I said No, honey...squirrels aren't invisible, because you can see them. They just aren't outside right now, but you know what a squirrel looks like. He was very smart to apply it that way...but I guess my explanation wasn't nearly as great as I thought. LOL Goes to prove...he's still way too young for such an abstract concept. LOL
