This afternoon, I'm sitting on the couch with my kids and we're just hanging out. All of a sudden, Taylor, who is 3 1/2, states "With liberty and justice for all!" Stunned, I look at him and ask what that is (to see if he knows what he's talking about) and he says, "That's the pledge of allegiance mom." Okay, I ask him where he learned that and he tells me, "Miss Aline and Miss Melanie". So I ask him if he knows the whole thing and he asks me to say it with him. What a WOW moment! He knew it, there were a couple of words that he needed help with, but WOW! The funny thing is that he was just as shocked that I knew it!
He also told me, "You know Mom, you're supposed to say it while you look at the American flag."
I'm so impressed, and I had nothing to do with it (except for paying for preschool and taking him twice a week)!
Yay for school!

A peek into the lives of Taylor and Lylee Bug!

The Kids April 2009
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking the kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Shenk's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was here and that I really lived."

Smart and patriotic! Very cool.
All the bigs know it, but I don't think V does. I'll have to give her a quiz. Definitely not C.
My little cousin came home from school talking about pledging a wean witch. My aunt was horrified at first. Were they teaching Wiccin or something? No, no. "Allegiance" can just be hard to say.
