This website was originally dedicated to Mason, but with the addition of our new son Reid Matthew, it is now a brother blog. Enjoy the updates of our kids.
Mason: When it’s done charging, I use it to get rid of my scratchies <rubbing cheek>. Don’t put it in your eye, just your cheek to get rid of scratchies.
Mason had this conversation with Diane after I had gone to work. I shaved that morning and told him what the razor was for and not to put the razor in his eye when he attempted to mimic what I was doing . So the moral of the story is that EVERY little thing you tell your kids does stick.
There isn’t anything more fun than a forklift ride to a 2 yr old (at the time). Well heck, even a 27 year old loves the forklift. This was another adventure Mason got to have with Papa down in Florida.
Mason and I were digging in the dirt around his playground area to level it out before I put mulch down. This was the conversation:
Mason: Daddy, this is a lot of hard work!
Daddy: I know buddy, but it will be really cool when it’s all done.
Mason: Daddy, this is really messy…. who made this dirt Daddy?
Daddy: God made the dirt.
Mason: Oooh, well God made a really big mess Daddy!
Daddy: Hahaha, yes I suppose he did.

Reflective Moment: To us it may seem God made a really big mess sometimes, but when we work to glorify Him, we soon realize the mess is really His beautiful creation given to us as a gift to use in any way we wish.
And I do mean skinny. Mason is such a riot and never does what you’d expect he would. This was a short vacation to Florida with the Hoggatts, and even though it is Florida, January isn’t necessarily warm. The pool was hanging around 56 deg. That’s as cold as cave water if you’ve ever had the chance to take a dip.
. So the moral of the story is that EVERY little thing you tell your kids does stick.
