Elijah-isms

I wish I could remember EVERYTHING this kid says. I truly never know what is going to come out of his mouth next, but here are a few ...

...........
This past weekend we had all of Dan's siblings here and most of their family members. Elijah was so excited to see his cousins and everyone he said, "I am so lucky today! I have all my best friends here!!"

............
They are learning in school that Satan is bad and God is good. I am learning a lot about Satan as well as a result. Such as ...

Satan picks his nose.
Satan lives in total darkness and wants you to eat junk. God wants you to eat food.
God wants you to love heroes. Satan wants you to love villains.
Satan says "Oh my God."

I bring Ellie, Elijah's classmate, home twice a week. She has had lots of input on the subject as well. They have quite the discussions. Here are a few of Ellie's thoughts ...

Satan would shave all boys and girls heads if he could.
She also had a dream where Satan "really did" try to give her a boy's pull-up.

Elijah: "Ellie, we shouldn't love Satan."
Ellie: "But God tells us to love our enemies!"
Elijah: "Mommy, I don't want to love my enemies!!"

................
Elijah said "Oh my Gosh" the other day and Madelyn said, "Elijah, you shouldn't say that. It's bad." Elijah: "Why?" M: "I'm not sure. I just know it is."

..............

We have gotten a ton of snow lately and Elijah said, "The stop sign is getting lower and lower!" Later that day he told my mom, "Everything is getting lower except the houses with the toys in them." (the sheds)

..............

Elijah loves the ladies. We had Madelyn's friend Isabelle here the other day. The girls were talking to Dan and Elijah goes up to them and hugs them from behind saying, "I love these girls!" He did the same thing with Dreama and Kim, his cousins. He was hugging them at the same time :)

...............

Elijah: The Hulk is the strongest super hero. Ellie: Stronger than Jesus? Elijah: hmm ... no.

...............

Elijah prays that I will get older on my birthday. This is his prayer most nights. The other night he mentioned it twice in his prayer! Should I be worried. If you read this, please pray the opposite for me to hopefully counteract his prayers. Thank you.

..............

Last night Elijah said to me, "I wish I had bunk beds so you could sleep on the top and I would sleep on the bottom ... Actually, I would sleep on the top, you can sleep on the bottom."

...................

Elijah: "Mommy, if you had 100 million boys standing in front of you, would you still pick me?" Me: "Of course I would!" Elijah: "You are my best mommy"

.................

We have a wii now and Elijah is so verbal when he plays. During the racing games his car is going all over the place, but he keeps saying, "Weee!" and "Woo Hoo!" He is such a happy kid. Of course when he's down he is very dramatic about it, but mostly he is happy. He wakes up happy while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to function in a new day, but he keeps us laughing.

...........................

We don't have any sledding hills nearby so Dan usually ends up pulling the kids around on the sled, not very quickly I might add. It doesn't matter to Elijah though. He was yelling, "Woo hoo!" and at one point said, "This is like a video game!"
