- After singing "I am a Child of God" for a bedtime song Kinnie asked "But what means God?" So I told her that God is another name for Heavenly Father. So she asked "Where does Heavenly Father live?" I told her that Heavenly Father lives in heaven (keeping it simple). She asks "How do we get to heaven?" While I am saying "ummmm...." I thought I heard her say airplane so I asked her if she said airplane, kind of smiling at how she was trying to figure things out. She said "No, angel, maybe an angel takes us there." And I said "Ya...maybe." I think sometimes she knows more then me!
- Kinnie had overheard a friend and I talking about that show Hoarders...I think that is what it is called. My friend was telling me how this one lady had 75+ cats and as the people started cleaning out her home they found a ton of dead cats. Kinnie was right there listening and I am pretty sure that is what sparked this next conversation: We were sitting in the living room later that evening on the floor and she pointed to the tv and vcr and tv stand and said "Will these things die?" I said "No, well sometimes things die like when the computer runs out of batteries we say it dies and then we plug it in and it works again." So I told her that things that are living die, people, dogs, cats, even flowers kind of die. So she named a few more things "monkeys, gorillas." Then she said "It's like when the computer dies and we plug it in we are like Heavenly Father."
Sometimes I can't believe she isn't this little toddler anymore.

She is growing up too fast! I love her to pieces and am so grateful to have her in our family!
