The World of a 3-year-old...

Welcome, I hope you are having an enjoyable day so far. I invite you to take a few minutes, and journey with me into a strange and enchanted realm filled with mystery and intrigue, the world of a 3-year-old...

"Elijah, stop picking your nose."
"I did, and I got a booger."
"Eww, honey, don't touch anything!"
"It's ok, I put it back."



"Whatcha drawing Elijah?"
"This is the Erf of China. And it has green parts where there is water, and blue parts where there is houses and grass and trees."
"I think the green parts are the land, buddy."
"Oh, right, haha, I already knew that! Can you show me how to draw Saturn?"

"Elijah, do you know why we celebrate Easter?"
"Yes."
"Oh, ok, why?"
"Umm, I dunno."
"Haha, well, we are celebrating what Jesus did for us, He loved us so much that He paid for our sins on the cross, and then rose from the dead after three days! Isn't that amazing?"
"Oh, yeah...can I eat a marshmallow?"

Elijah to the man walking by our aisle in Target:
"Red light...green light....hey, red light!"

At Wendy's:
"Elijah, what do you want for lunch, chicken nuggets? a hamburger?"
"They have the ' Spicy Baconator' here!"
"Ha, that is true, do you want one?"
"No, I want some chicken nuggets."

"Goodnight Elijah, sleep well buddy."
"Yesterday at Sarah's, Momma said that I don't sleep anymore...you can go to sleep if you want to."
"Um, I don't think Momma said that, buddy. Go to sleep, ok?"
"Ok, can you sing me a song about piddy-tigs?"
"Those aren't even real words, Elijah, it is time to go to sleep, ok?"
"Haha, ok. Goodnight."



"That girl has pink hair, see Elijah?"
"Oh, yeah, she shouldn't do that."
"Do you have pink hair, buddy?"
"No, I have Elijah hair."
"Does Grammy have pink hair?"
"Nooo, she had yellow hair."
"What about Aunt Noodle, does she have pink hair?"
"No."
"Maybe Gramma Pam, is her hair pink?"
"Ummm...yeah, that's right, you figured it out daddy! Gramma Pam has pink hair, right."

Elijah's thoughts on Superman:
"Superman flies cuz of that flag he keeps on his back."

Elijah's thoughts on pooping:
"The big ones are fast, but the little ones are the coolest ones everrr!"
