On Wednesdays I pick my grandsons up from school, hang out with them and then take them to my church for the mid-week children's program . . . Kids 'N Action. This program has a bit of a Western "flair" and children work through the Book of James in five years (one chapter a year) memorizing each chapter and learning about how they can put their faith into action.Caleb is four years old, so he is in the "Little Kids 'N Action group; this Wednesday, each of the children in this group were given a cowboy hat. As we walked to our car after I picked him up, I said; "Caleb, you look cool in your cowboy hat!" To which Caleb - in a flat, serious tone - replied; "I do not look cool. I look rediculeeous."
It took every ounce of self-control I had to not bust up laughing, but I calmly said; "You do not look ridiculous, you look very nice and cool."
At this point we were outside and Caleb said; "I do not look nice or cool, I look rediculeeous; and my shadow looks rediculeeous, too." His shadow!!!! I smiled (laughing my head off inside) and said; "Well, I think you look wonderful and definitely not rediculeeous!"
Apparently, my sweet Caleb is not a fan of cowboy hats, but his grandma is absolutely a fan of him! He makes my heart happy!
What are some of the things your grandchildren say which makes your heart happy?
