Just a few things

I've been a bad bad blogger lately. I just haven't been able to focus on anything. There have been a few blogs running through my brain I just haven't had the capacity to write them. Even now for some reason I can't type one word without messing up. Alekisio has said some interesting things that I want to get down. The first one is last week when we were in the car. He was asking me about if Jesus is in heaven, and about him being here. I don't remember specifics. I know he kept asking about if Jesus has blood. He's starting to repeat the same questions even when he knows the answer. I think it was a little hard to understand that you go to heaven when you die but Jesus is alive and in heaven. At one point when I was saying how Jesus was alive in heaven he said,"Did Heavenly Father hug Jesus?" Of course I told him he probably did and H.F. is going to hug him too. I thought that was really sweet.

I've been giving Alekisio good listener rocks in a jar and when he gets a certain amount he can choose something to buy. So far we've gotten a, now deceased, beta, and Kung Fu Panda. One night we were driving home in the car and Isabelle had had enough so she was crying. This is what followed:

Alekisio: Isabelle doesn't get any rocks.
Me: Why?
Alekisio: She has a big attitude.
(I had to not laugh)
Me: Why does she have a big attitude?
Alekisio: She's crying!

He's starting to say things that we tell him. Occasionally I tell him to stop his attitude. All I can keep thinking is that we're in trouble. He also never speaks tongan but suddenly he's been telling Isabelle to be quiet in tongan when she's bothering him. I'm going to try and update with a few more blogs, sorry about the lack of new ones Walt.

Cute. And good idea about the listening rocks. Calin's class has a little jar and when they're good they get to put a scoop of popcorn seeds in, then when it's full they get some kind of reward. After reading your blog I think I'm going to start something similar. An "obedience jar" I think. And they'll have rocks glass stones or something to put in, pink for Naiya, blue for Calin. They'd so love that! Thanks for sharing!
