The Darndest Things

That's what kids say anyway.

Last week we were all eating lunch. It was one of Luke's days off of school, so he was there with us too. Luke speaks up and says, "I just can't believe it, I JUST can't believe it! I'm a person, a REAL person." Now, call me weird but I've had those same thoughts too. Although, I believe they came to me much later, like high school. So I said to Luke, "Yes, you are. And isn't cool that God made you to be a real person?" I know the philosopher Descartes said "I think therefore I am." But along the lines of C.S. Lewis and others - the only reason we think is because God gave us that capability.

I also took Abby to the doctor. She was having quite a few potty accidents and it just did not seem right which led to me suspecting an UTI or bladder infection. At the doctor's office, the doctor asked Abby if it hurt to go potty. Abby replied, "Well, sometimes it feels like I'm trying to push a baby out of my tummy." I think the doctor was slightly shocked/amused that she said this. I simply shrugged my shoulders and said that she must have heard me mention it. Thankfully, Abby is just fine and she hasn't had an accident since we went to the doctor.
