Jeneva Dykstra in all her 5 years of wisdom has a great plan to move to Antarctica. It does involve a lot of walking, but nevertheless, I think it's almost failproof and could quite possibly get the job done. So fearless Jeneva, put on your boots because we're going walking in the morning.
I was definitely ready for some new scenery today when Jack kept running around the house like a wild banchee, getting louder by the hour and losing momentum on all his practice of answering "yes, mom?" when I say his name. Thus, moving to Antarctica with Jeneva would seem like a likely solution. Then, the kid knocked my socks off with his 5 year old wisdom tonight at bedtime. While "reading" his Veggie Tales dictionary (don't ask how that's a bedtime story, but it is somehow, so we roll with it) I would ask him for definitions of random words. It turns out he's quite good at defining words. When I said "Bible" he immediately said "God's words." MAN ALIVE, the kid IS listening and not only that, retaining accurate information about one of the most important parts of Christian theology and our faith. And his prayer also put me back in my place: Dear God, I love you. Please hold us tight while we are in your sight. (although he was a little prideful on his rhyming skills :).
So, sweet Jeneva, I guess we'll both probably still be here tomorrow morning and we'll talk Friday about a girls day out, ok? :) Love you!
