Wonder-boy!

Samuel is the wonder nowadays.

He is constantly amazing us with words, actions and stunts that leave us gaping. Ashley gets up in the mornings and takes Samuel downstairs to spend some time with the Lord. Sometimes this works and sometimes not. On one of these days, we were sitting down for lunch when I hear him mumbling something while seated. I asked him, "What did you say?" He responds, "I'm talking to Jesus!"
"Oh...what did you say?" Still playing with his fingers, "I said, 'Hi Ba-ba'. "

Another time we were getting in the car to go to the store, and he was getting in his new car seat. It looks like something an astronaut would sit in. He is learning to click the seat belt into place, and he wants to do it himself. He needed help that day, and so he said, "I need some help, Mom." And so I turn around from the front to help. For some reason, I was having trouble that day, and we are both grunting with effort. Then he pipes up, "Help, Word! (Lord)" That just makes me laugh because he's probably heard it from me, but it makes my heart glad. He's learning. He's perceiving. And that makes it all worth it. What a precious little boy.
