Conversations with Elijah

Here are a couple of interesting conversations I had with my son today:

(We're looking at pictures of friends on the computer)

E: That's Macy.
H: Yup!
E: And Cameron.
H: That's right.
E: I know!
H: What do you know?
E: Come here, I'll tell you, its a secret.
H: (laughing) OK. (I lean over so he can whisper in my ear)
E: (whispering) Jon and Carly can come over. Cameron and Macy can come to church with us and Jon and Carly can come to my school. Cameron's nice!
H: Oh, ok. Maybe we'll see Jon and Carly and Macy and Cameron soon.
E: And they can come to my class.
H: Sure. Maybe.

(I liked that he had to whisper the whole thing!)

Conversation #2

Elijah's supposed to be taking a nap but I hear him playing so I go in to take care of the situation...

E: Mom!
H: You're supposed to be taking a nap.
E: You know what?
H: What?
E: There's four cows, three aligators and some monsters. I tell Jesus that he come here and take them away.
H: Oh, do those animals scare you?
E: (not answering my question...clearly in his own world) Let's go see him.
H: Who? Jesus?
E: Yes. Where is he?
H: Up in heaven, really high up in the sky.
E: Wow.
H: Yeah. We'll get to see him some day when we go to heaven.
E: I know. (This seems to be his favorite way to introduce a new idea)
H: What? (getting a little frustrated that this conversation is still going on...I'm supposed to be working and he's supposed to be sleeping...why are we still talking)
E: I'll get a airplane and we'll fly way (waving his hands all around above his head) up in the sky and go see him.
H: Do you think that would work?
E: Yup.
H: Hmmm...I don't know. But we can talk to him if you want. We talk to Jesus when we pray.
E: Ok. (lays down and closes his eyes and waves me off)
H: Have a good nap buddy.
