The Fastest Thing on Earth


Carter just went up to bed and as he walked up the stairs, he paused and said, "I wish I could see what I look like inside your brain." Wow! That's pretty deep for a 4 year old.
When he first began his zealousness for God's supremeness, he mentioned it a lot more than he does now. Let me put that in perspective. Now, he only mentions it about 4 - 5 times a day. Before, it was a part of every conversation. For example, "Carter, I need to run to the bathroom, can you keep your eye on Will?" "God doesn't have to go to the bathroom." So, now, that he has it established that God is the best, I guess he can ease up on us some.
We were traveling up Nicholasville Road one day, heading toward downtown as a helicopter was making it's way to one of the hospitals just ahead of us. I was driving and Nathan began to cheer me on, "You can beat it. Go!" He elicited help from Carter. I finally explained to Carter that the helicopter was going to win because it didn't have to stop at red lights or navigate traffic. Nathan playfully kept the game going. Then Carter said, "You know what the fastest thing on earth is?" We answered that we didn't, and he replied: "God in a fire truck!" Amen.
Will has discovered an old toy of Carter's. It's a toy telephone that Papa got for Carter when he was about Will's age. It counts and has animal sounds. Will only likes the dog and if you turn the selection, he shakes his head no and says, "Daw!" and then blows a couple short puffs (that's his version of barking). Once it's finally back, he points at it and again says "Daw" and barks some more and then makes the daw bark on the phone. This makes him laugh. Then, he will pick up the phone receiver and say "Hi? " and babble some other gibberish, say Mama and hand me the phone." It's funny because it's almost like he's asking a question to the phone.
The next cutest thing he's been doing lately is singing. It's breathy and sing-songy and beautiful. I hope we can catch it on video.
