The Knights: 3 pennies

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 counting to 10...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,purple,10! 4-'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

Me: Dylan, please go brush your teeth. Don't make me ask again.

Dylan: (standing very still holding Logan's Lego motorcycle that she just ran all the way downstairs to get) But I got a motorcycle and Logan said I can't move.

Me: LOGAN, YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF YOUR SISTER. You can't tell her what to do! Dylan you don't have to do what he says, put the motorcycle down and go brush your teeth please.

Dylan looks at me kind of in a panic, then at her brother, then back at me without moving anything but her eyes. Logan then walks out of the bathroom towards Dylan VERY slowly and confidently.

Logan: See mom, she would rather have a penny.

Then he went to his room grabbed 3 pennies and paid her for:

1. Running downstairs to get his motorcycle.

2. Holding still so it didn't break.

3. Sharing her Legos with him.

Dylan squealed with glee when she got 3. Logan was kind of mad when he realized she would have done all of it for only 1 penny.

****Side note: I don't pay my kids for chores or bribe them with money. I don't know where the idea came from or how long this has been going on. Don't know what I am going to do about it so if you have any suggestions let me know. I think it's funny, but I would much rather Logan get his own motorcycle or have Dylan get it for him just to be nice.
