Funny Jonathan Story

I don't have a picture to go with this, but I really need to post it before I forget.  I was watching my friend Marcy's kids and my boys were there as well playing.  Kristen called Marcy's house saying she needed to drop off a dish that Marcy had brought dinner to her in and I said I would take it.  When she arrived all the kids, of course, ran to the door to see who it was.  Kristen handed me the casserole dish, which was empty, and we started chatting.  Jonathan, who didn't have a good view from below us looked up at Kristen and said, "Kristen, I didn't know you could cook!"  I am just relieved to say that she has a great sense of humor and we got a good laugh out of that.  I still chuckle when I think of it.  Kristen, of course, can cook and Jonathan was a little confused because I made her dinner when she had little Jane.  He takes things quite literally.

New Bedding

I finally got to replace the bedding Keith's mom bought us for Christmas today. I love it and I think that Keith will like it as well. He seems to be the most opinionated husband when it comes to decorating the house. Anyway, I put all of it on the bed and of course then proceeded to take pictures to email Keith. The boys and I then ran to the park and the store. When we got home we ate a quick dinner then got ready for bed. I walked into my room to find that my white embroidered pillows were missing from my bed and thrown haphazardly on the floor. I was a little confused considering we had only been home for a short time and the boys weren't in my room, that I knew of.

After Jonathan was done brushing his teeth he came into my room where I was practicing piano waiting for him. He then said, "Mom do you like the bed now?" I, of course, responded with a yes thinking he was referring to the new bedding. He then went on to say, "I had to take off the white pillows, Mom, they don't belong." I am a little stunned at this point thinking that my son is telling me how to decorate my house at the tender age of four so I don't yet have a response. He then pulls the bag that the new bedding came in and showed me the picture and says, "See, Mom, there are no white pillows in this picture. Didn't you see that when you made the bed?" I was, at this point, trying to contain my mirth, with difficulty, and told him that I like the white pillows on the bed. He gave me his "worried" look, which I don't have a picture of yet, and said, "Okay, Mom, whatever you want," he then walked to his room for bed. I am still laughing about the whole thing. How do our kids grow up so fast? (Luckily he missed the pink pillow!)
