Callan says the most inspired things sometimes. Here's a recent conversation we had about the days of the week:
Me: Callan, what is your favorite day of the week?
Callan: This day.
This is part of what Jesus means by coming to him like a little child. Callan is not focused on tomorrow or yesterday, but "this day," for this is the very day he lives in. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Meanwhile, Thatcher has been striving for verbal communication lately, and he uttered his first word a week and a half ago: "Ball" (More like "Bah" but he was clearly referring to the round object in his hand.) He has since tried to imitate Bottle ("Bah-bah"), Bus ("Buh"), Block, and even Kaleidoscope! He so desperately wants to tell us things and be understood, he's not daunted by the fact that kaleidoscope has 4 syllables and just about every sound in the English language! For the record, "kaleidoscope" also comes out "bah."
Soon Thatcher and Callan will be composing sonnets together...and you will read them first right here, so stay tuned!
