Button Pusher

We were talking with Sawyer about how he instigates Dempsey and
pushing his "buttons". We were giving him examples and he blurts out
"but his whole body is buttons... at least in the bath tub."

We laughed so hard.

A Germ Dinner

I coughed a few times, just clearing my throat. Sawyer, as he's putting on his shoes, states, "Boy! It sounds like you ate a germ dinner."

Constantly Amazed

Last night during bed time routine, Sawyer asked "Wouldn't it be sad if Dempsey died?"
Me: Yes, very sad.
S: He would be okay though, God would take care of him.
Me: Yes but I would be so sad to lose Dempsey or you!
S: Awwww. But God could give you a new baby to love.
Me: I don't think I could Sawyer. I would be too sad missing Dempsey or you.
S: It'd be okay mom, we'd be with God. Hey, I could ask to visit for vacations.

Seriously?! Vacations!  I love how his mind works and that his heart is so in tune with God.

I told this story to my friend who lost her son just after his eighteenth birthday. She said "He amazes me. Tell him I wish there were vacation from Heaven."

I relayed what she said, like she asked, and explained her journey of losing her son to Sawyer. He was sad. I reminded him about the Relay for Life event that is held at Cal High each year and refreshed his memory of his experiences there. He remembered. I explained what Relay for Life does and how important it is. I explained about the research and the scientists and doctors who are working so hard to find the cure for cancer. Here's what he said:

would you be okay using your money or should we work with them (doctors.scientists) to help them get done faster?

I love him so much!!
