The SUMMER is HERE!
We swam and swam yesterday and Neeley didn't even make it through dinner (and we had grilled steak). The process of giving in was hilarious to watch. She would lift a bit of meat and her eyes would glaze over and bob and then eventually her head hit the table. Ah, the power of swimming to wear our kids out.
This morning Neeley asked us if we wanted her to die (I know, incredibly strange). Which is a very shocking question as a parent. So, we clarified NO! It was apparent the question was asked in the innocence of a child. She's just making sense of things and the world she lives in. So it passed and we went on with our morning.
Later this morning we asked why she asked that and if she knew what it meant. Hattie chimed in trying to make sense of it saying, "She wants to go and live with Heavenly Father." We then looked at Neeley and she responsed quite loudly:
"NO I DON'T!"
And ran off with her jump rope. Ah Neeley, we love her.

Too funny! My favorite is when they're saying, "I'm not tired!!!" while the eyes are nodding and head is bobbing!
Uncle Ted died when Berkley was 3 or 4. She was very curious about death. She wondered if they would take their furniture when they saw Jesus, and she knew she didn't want to go to heaven without her mama, because "it had been a long time since she had seen Jesus." The faith of child.. .gotta love it!
