Dawson: "Hey mom, so when you went to the hospital, how did the doctor pull Brooks out of your throat"

I had to try not to laugh out loud. After letting him know that babies do not come out of moms through their throat and trying to keep things very general, I was able to distract him away from the subject. I was terrified that he was going to ask me how babies get in a moms tummy!

Also today while we were eating lunch, Dawson started talking about how Satan is a bad guy. Then He asked me why Satan is bad and I told him that Satan tempts us to do bad things bc he doesn't want us to go back and live with Heavenly Father. To that Dawson replied in a confident voice while pointing his finger "Well Satan does not know that we are going back to Heaven!!!" He said it with such conviction.
Dawson reminds me a lot of me when I was little. He is very stubborn and has mood swings, but can also be the sweetest most loving little guy. Sometimes he will be mean to Addy and sometimes he is her best friend, giving her hugs, and patiently explaining things to her. I never know what I am going to get with him. I sure do love that little guy.
Yesterday I signed him up for preschool and it hit me that he is really growing up. He turns five in October and will just miss the deadline to start kindergarten. That is ok with me though bc I still have not decided if I am going to home school him or send him to school. We shall see.
Right now Dawson is really into writing, and has started sounding out words. Today the words I can remember that he spelled were bol (ball) and gramo (grandma). He has really taken off with reading and writing. He is so smart!
