The Knights: The Happy Button

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

Logan and I practice reading everyday. It is usually such a chore and he can not sit still. He gets really grumpy when we read and it usually ends in a threat to not play. Then he will either finish angrily or choose not to play for the rest of the day. Yesterday while we were reading he was getting really grumpy with me.

Me: How come you always get so upset when we read?

Logan: Didn't you know that if you push my happy button on the bottom of my foot I will cheer up?

(He then stuck his barefoot right in my face and pointed to the arch on his foot.)

Me: So all I have to do is push this one button and it makes you happy?

Logan: Ya, I actually have more than one button. This one just works the best. I have buttons here and here and here. (He is pointing to random spots all over his body)

I pushed the button and we had our very best reading time. He was happy the whole time. So when we sat down to read today he started to get upset with me. Then he laughed, picked up his foot, pushed the button and proceeded to finish on a happy note.
