This month has been a good one for Dylanisms. That boy is crazy, but so amazingly sweet. He is always thinking...maybe that's why he comes up with such funny things to say!
- Berbbly - blurry. Example: "This picture I took is all berbbly."
- The other night I had a discussion with Dylan about when he grows up. He wanted to know where he could find a wife. I figured he'd be a little older when we had this conversation, but I told him that he should try to find a wife at church because he should marry a lady who loves Jesus. He then said, "But if no ladies love Jesus, I can't find a wife." I hope he still has his priorities straight when he really starts looking for a wife!
- Dylan then told me that baby brother (Andrew) could live with him & he could feed him formula. Apparently Andrew will be an infant forever.
- Dylan then told me that he is going to grow up to be a pastor & have a lot of kids.
We had quite the talk that night. What a blessing to be able to listen to my 5 year old boy share his heart with me. I worried about having boys, but now I can't imagine anything better. I pray daily that my boys will grow into strong Christian men, but it seems that that is already starting in Dylan. Now I need to start praying for me & Derrick, that we will be available to our boys & willing to hear their hearts, to be there for them & to really listen to them, even when it's been a long day. I am definitely not perfect, but I am so thankful that I did not push Dylan aside that night because I was "busy."
Our pastor & his wife have 6 kids...one day his wife told me, basically, "With that many kids, there is always noise. I have to be intentional about listening to what is being said to me." I have thought about that a lot recently. Intentionally listening to Dylan. Intentionally having lots of face time with Andrew. It's not easy, but I love when sweet moments, like the ones above, emerge from it!
Feeling so thankful for my boys tonight & what a blessing & comfort they are to me! Can't wait to hear what our crazy boy has to say next!
