The Knights: December 2011

Logino

Logan has been getting scared at night because his fan will blow things in his room. So we have been teaching him that he can say a prayer and HF will make him feel better and help him to sleep. One morning he told me he had been scared and that he prayed and that HF really made him feel better. The cutest part is, he got out of bed and knelt in the middle of his floor to say the prayer. Then crawled back in bed and fell asleep. I told him he didn't have to get out of bed if he was scared and he said, "yes I do, I have to show HF respect." 05-'10
We were at a park that had the telephone toys. One pipe on one end, and Logan was near the other end. Mikah yelled in the pipe "I love you Logan" he looked around confused because he was all alone and said, "I love you too Heavenly Father, I know that you are true!" then went on playing as if this was a regular occurance. 04-'10
When you lay a blanket on the ground and sit on it he thinks it is called a party. He will always ask me to make a party for him. 09-'10
While talking a mile a minute he stopped and said, "the batteries in my mouth are broken." 3-'10
He told me to take a cat nap, and he would take a dog nap. 3-'10
He calls Mozzarella cheese, Cinderella cheese. 3-'10

While playing kitchen with Daddy he told her to put something in the microwave for 2 minutes, she ran to the couch and buried her face in her hands and began to cry. When he asked her what was wrong she said "time out." (When she is in trouble she has to sit on the stairs for 2 min.) 2-'10
When she wants to be held she will stand at your feet and say "Can I hold you?" 1-'10
If she is mad at you she will flip your lip. 1-'10
When she wants your attention she will yell "Mamma Keith Knight, or Daddy Keith Knight" we all get Logan's full name. 1-'10

Scripture time

Mikah, Dylan, Shasta, Julie (ice skating at Nelson family Christmas party-our numbers were few)

Every night for family scripture study Keith or I read the scriptures and the kids repeat the words to us. With a 6 and 3 year old this is the only thing we have found that works (sometimes). Tonight when it was Dylan's turn to repeat the scriptures. She decided that she was going to read them and we were going to repeat them. She just received her very own copy of miniature scriptures from Grandma Jayne with her name in-scripted on them. So we let her read them as we repeated what she said. I love kids interpretation of things.

Dylan 1:1

And he passed out. And he came to pass out. They were good guys. With the power of God. They didn't get burned. And then they turned into bad guys. Ammon played Basketball and Legos with Logan.

Who knew that my 3 year old had already picked up the pride cycle :) And I had no idea every time we said "and it came to pass" she was imagining some guy passing out. Gotta love it.

Birds and the Bees

Logan to my friend Kristen while we were driving in the car...

I know where babies come from. My dad gave my mom a seed. She ate that seed. The baby grew in her stomach. And then one day my mom went to the Dr. and he got the baby out.

How did he know?!?

What I have found today...

I was upstairs rounding the troops for lunch. Asking everybody what they would like to eat today. As I made my way to the kitchen Logan wouldn't let me come in. He said he needed a minute. When I came in I found a note next to a pan of cheesy potatoes. Translation..."I Logan cheesey potato logan more potato" I had to laugh. So I dished him up a plate and after lunch was over I found the note below.
Translation..."I love mom, I love u mom, I love everybody." He is 6. But totally uninterested in reading and writing. It is a fight to get him to do any of it. He can sound out words and CAN read, but really doesn't care for it. Maybe this is a start of some interest...I can only hope.

While doing laundry I left the laundry room to put some clothes away and when I came back in I found this.

He was so thrilled with his new playpen. Every time he tried to climb out he hit his head. He thought it was so funny he kept trying. He is still a very good natured little guy, but he gets into trouble more than my other 2 ever did. He makes more messes than he should be capable. He is a very good climber. He doesn't care to walk, but that doesn't stop him from getting into things that he shouldn't. I am in a heap of trouble with this one.
