Silly boy...

Last week Boog brought home an Epiphany candle from school. We are supposed to light it each night at dinner, say a prayer and each say something we are thankful for. It has been a neat thing to do with the children. Seeing what each of them has to say is heartwarming. Boog has been the funny thankful one, he is not really at the age to understand what being thankful is all about, he knows that he is thankful for material things but thinks it is somewhat funny when you list people as what you are thankful for.

Anyway, we have been lighting the candle each night and everyone continues to have nice things to say. Boog is always the one that blows the candle out after dinner. I guess somehow or some time in the last few days we had been discussing his birthday (which by the way is not until the middle/end of April) and he thought about it when we were sitting down to start dinner. As I was lighting the candle, he asked us if we were going to sing Happy Birthday to him. We all snickered and told him that it was not his birthday, to which he responded that it is almost his birthday...

Needless to say, here we are in the beginning of January, singing Happy Birthday Dear Boog...it made his day.

We have such a silly boy. Of course, Daddy's birthday is a week before Boog's so we asked if we could sing to Daddy first. Nah, that was not happening. That kid is too funny.
