Happy Birthday to Jesus !

Today the kids had a blast with Jodie. We were all around until noon. So I got to see some of the fun. The kids made a birthday cake for Jesus in the kitchen and even decorated it . They walked to the flower shop and bought Randy and I a Christmas surprise. ( VERY sweet Jodie- thanks! ) They also played some learning games with Mary , Joseph and Jesus. They used cut outs of them to pattern and also made Happy Birthday Jesus cards.

The conversation I heard from the playroom was SO funny. Sometimes it is entertaining to listen to other adults try to explain or get out of sticky conversations. For instance :

Child – Ms Jodie how will these cards get to Jesus?

Ms J – Well, I guess you will take them to your mom or dad and they will mail them.

Child – To where, where is Jesus now ?

Ms. J – He is in the sky , in Heaven.

Child- In Heaven ?

Ms J – Yep !

Child- Can’t we just give them to the post man ?

Ms J – Umm… Well, I guess we COULD….. uh…

Child – The postman delivers mail , he could take them to Heaven for us.

Mrs. Jodie also told me about this one :

William; Knock Knock

Malia -Who’s there?

William – Banana

Malia- Come in Banana!

William You are SUPPOSED TO say… Banana WHO?

Malia – Come in Banana Who

William – ( grabs head and makes a very frustrated sound… )

Kids… I never get tired of listening to them learn to navigate life and their relationships.

I have had a wonderful little mini vacation with both of my kids here for Christmas. Thanks Ms Jodie for working and thanks parents for understanding I needed to be with my family. Merry Christmas to you all and I will see you Monday January 3rd.
