The other day Quinn said " Mommy do you hear those guns?" (we have a shooting range just down the road, so lucky me i get to hear guns shooting all day every day) said "yes."

Quinn said "You don't like guns do you?" I said "no I dont. Do you?" He said "Yes. I do like them. " Then he said very seriously. "But its ok Mommy. I will never shoot guns Mommy. I promise."

Now I have never directly told Quinn he couldnt shoot guns. He just picked that up because I dont like them and he wants to make me happy. He is such a sweet lil guy.

Quinn graduated to a size 10 shoe today. And size 3 clothes. My baby is no longer a baby. :(

Today while we were driving to Mcdonalds Quinn said " It's okay Mommy. God will take care of you."
And then he said "Did God tell Jacob He will take care of him." I said "yes" and Quinn said "He will take care of us too."
He amazes me.

This morning Quinn wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When he sat down to eat it he asked " Is this a dam sandwich?" I said "No. It's peanut better and jelly, silly. " He said " Oh it's a dam peanut butter sandwich." Dam means HAM. It made me chuckle.
:)

Quinn: "Does God have hands?"
Me: "Yes He probably does."
Quinn: "I wish I had wings so I could fly up and Talk to God. I would really like to see Him."

Quinn: "I really wish I could have a steering wheel. But you won't let me. That's what I really, really want"

Quinn was reading books to his boy. He has a boy named Alex. so he says

At 3 yrs 3months Quinn can count backwards from 5. He knows many letters on sight.He has a lot of problems reciting the alphabet though.

He knows his colors. He knows that a red light means stop and a green light means go. He knows most of his shapes although he seems to forget them?

He can carry on full conversations. He is funny and has a good sense of humor. He likes to joke. He loves people and I am trying to teach him that not all people are his friends, That makes me sad. I don't like having to teach him that there are evil people in the world. People that will hurt him. He truly does not understand it at all. He thinks all people are good and are his friends. having to teach him different takes away a little bit of his innocence I think.
He loves animals. He is independent. He loves to learn. He has a fantastic imagination. He is artistic. He loves to sing. he sings all day long while playing.
He still has many eating issues although he will now eat foods that have different textures in them - for instance yogurt with fruit. He still will not eat things like spaghetti and pasta. He says "I love to not like spaghetti mommy."
He is afraid of thunderstorms at night but is ok during the day. He loves rain.
He loves the cartoon Caillou. He repeats many things that Caillou says, like, "are we there yet?"
He loves Little Einsteins, Super Why, Team Umizoomi, and just about any learning show.
He likes to dance and he likes to do somersaults on the couch.
He remembers the funny guy from Halloween last year and wants to know where the store put him because he is bigger now and not afraid.
He can't wait for Christmas.
He is the sweetest, most compassionate child I know.
Yesterday in the car Marilyn had his fireman hat. He wanted it And was demanding she give it to him. I said "no Quinn. Marilyn had it first. he cried and cried. After a couple of seconds Marilyn handed him the hat. Quinn handed it back an said "no..you can play with it." He was still crying like his heart was broke. But he was still willing to let Marilyn have the hat. It made me proud.
I love this boy with all my heart and every bit of my soul.

Quinn: "Daddy, Marilyn said she was going to bring me candy."
Daddy:"She did?"

Quinn: "Yes she did."
Daddy: "Well she might not, she's a kid you know."
Quinn: "She's not a kid! She's a girl!"

Last night Quinn was up all night crying because he has a hang nail on his big toe. Finally at 4:30 am (after I put a band aid on it) I said: "How about if we say a prayer about your toe and maybe God will make it feel better?"
So I prayed. "Dear God please make my toe stop hurting. In Jesus name, Amen"

Afew seconds later Quinn said "Did you hear God?"
I said " No. Did you?"
Quinn said "Yes"
I said "Really? What did He say?"
Quinn said "He told me He has a brown watering can for me."
