This video of Elijah makes me laugh out loud, which is something I always enjoy doing.
I hope it does the same for you!
Thoughts of a passionate, quick-to-laugh, often-anxious, hamsterwheeling brain.

And I quote:
Elijah: (running in from outside) "I have to go poo!"
Me: "Ohhh-kay. Sounds like a good plan."
Elijah: (pausing at the bathroom door to smile coyly and wiggle his eyebrows slightly at me) "It is. It's one of the greats."
Malachi: (sadly, after David left to get in the shower) "Daddy? Daddy. Mo' (more)."
Me: "You want more of Daddy?"
Malachi: (hanging his head dejectedly) "Daddy. Mo'."
Me: "Dane, I love you to the moon and back."
Dane: (looking me right in the eye, with words just pouring out of him) "Me too, Mom. I love you. I love you more than butterflies and I love you more than playing outside and I love you more than caterpillars and I love you more than a toy and I love you more than all my toys." (then he just hopped and skipped outside)
Elijah: (eating a banana) "The best banana I ever had was....February 22nd."
Me: (laughing) "How do you remember it was February 22nd?"
Elijah: (sincerely) "Well...I don't remember EXACTLY, but I know it was in the 20's. Man, that banana tasted like CANDY."
Haven: (with an oh-well kind of smile and a shrug) "Today at school Ms. Hagood asked what my talent was and I said my talent was getting hurt, 'cuz...it is. I do that a LOT."
Elijah: (coming to me randomly, before church) "Mom, who's Uncle Benny?"
Me: (a little confused) "We don't have an Uncle Benny."
Elijah: "No. Benny."
Me: "We don't have an Uncle Benny."
Elijah: (really emphasizing the words and speaking very loudly, like I'm not hearing him) "No. BEN-NY!!!"
Me: "Yeah. I got it. I don't know what you're talking about. We don't have an Uncle Benny."
Elijah: (mystified) "We don't?? Well...THAT'S a bummer." (and then he just walked away)

That's a keeper! And yes, I definitely laughed out loud!!
That is my favorite Primary song! It was fun to hear your voice again too. It actually kind of surprised me how much as soon as you started talking I missed the old Manchester ward...
love him! roxy actually came in the room when she heard the singing...ah...kindred spirits!
ps...i agree...good to hear YOUR voice again...i miss you too!
so funny. and super cute.
Holy cow...I was laughing out loud, and not just kind off- it was LOUD! Blasted gum! why does it think it can just take off all by itself all the time? We also loved the evolution of the last line repeated three times...you know, "This is my sugar booty".
The last thing way that this video made my day is that 'I'm funny, huh?!' look he throws you near the end. This face a characteristic he has picked up from his sweet mama! It makes me love you and miss you at the same time!
absolutely darling! even pat was laughing in the background.
My sacred beauty? He is adorable! When did he learn to talk? I swear I've never heard him. That was soo funny. So is your new blog title...on a circle background. You guys are great!
I wish I could get Andrew to sing primary songs!
Elijah is hysterical! What a cutie!
Hooray for kids and their completely candid honesty!
Also, Happy Birthday to Haven! (Did I ever tell you that I totally love her name and have been secretly jealous that you came up with it first!)
This is my Sacred Booty? Thats a new one! I love it linds! So funny
Glad your child has a sacred booty. Those are so hard to come by these days...
Cute, I'm going to have to learn to put videos on now!!!! Hearing your voice was a little trippy, it's been about seven years I think....
Of course he could stay with us! We're friends and we're free, and that's what you want when you travel :) We've got an air mattress or we've got an awesome couch (which I actually prefer over our bed mattress). Just let me know.
Oh I just got your message. Okay, well I hope he likes his motorcycle, is this related to the moustache phase? :) Did you hear my Dad got his motorcycle finally?
this video is absolutely adorable!!! i love the look he gives you at the end, like, "i'm awesome!" i miss getting to babysit him so much! brian got back from his mission a few weeks ago and he loved seeing Elijah in the video. everyone laughed. :)
