Do NOT get used to this: 2 posts in one day. It's a record for me. WOW setting records on the first day. I might actually be good at this! Enough rambling, here is the point of this post. I have 4 children. Chaz is 7, Jedidiah is 6, Jaden is 4 and ZoeLynn is 1. I would like to take a moment to talk about Jaden. This kid is hilarious and I have no idea where he comes up with the things he says or does. I am going to share with you some dialogue that happened tonight between Jaden and his dad and then a "situation" I happened upon. Girls make sure you go to the bathroom or have extra padding on. You have been warned.
Chuck is sitting on the bed with Jaden playing his guitar.
A little back story here, Chuck comes from a musical family. His mother is a classical pianist and his brother has a band and is a pretty awesome worship pastor. He has another brother that is a recording genius. And has 2 other gifted siblings who plays the drums and sings. Chuck was never one for playing instruments growing up. He was either playing baseball or reading a dictionary, concordance and Bible at one time. BUT the boy naturally has a talent. He is not "get on stage and lead worship" good, but he is "play around a fire" good. So just keep that in mind as you read the following.
So Chuck is sitting on the bed with Jaden playing his guitar. Jaden closes his eyes real tight and rolls away from him with his hands over his face...
Chuck: Jaden, are you ok?
Jaden: I'm having a bad dream. A REALLY REALLY bad dream.
Chuck: Well are you ok?
(We have a history of night terrors within our family, more on that later.)
Jaden: not yet. I'm trying to get it out of my head.
Chuck: well what is it about?
Jaden: I'm having a bad dream. Really, really, really bad.
Chuck: Well?
Jaden: (with his eyes still covered) I wanted you to stop playing and I was going to punch you in the face. That's why I covered my eyes. So it would go away! (uncovering his eyes).....ok. It went away. You can keep playing now!
Who's kid is this???? But the night gets better. Earlier today I am at walmart and I found this heavy duty plastic 4 drawer thing. It's made to put in your garage and store things. Well I look at it and think it would be perfect to put the boys clothes in. I would need at least 2, 3 would be nice but they aren't cheap. So I got one to test it out. My boys are 500% boy and rough on EVERYTHING. So in all honesty I wanted to see if it would live up to its "heavy duty" name. All 3 boys share a bunk bed with a trundle underneath. The older 2 boys are asleep and Jaden is wondering the house (trying not to punch his daddy). I go in to check on the boys, who were sleeping peacefully and I hear Daisy. Daisy is our almost 1 year old puppy rescue. I quickly remember the boys wanted Dasiy to sleep with them. I look for her in their beds and she is no where to be found. So I call to her and I hear her whimpering. I start getting nervous that she is stuck under the bed or in a corner or any other horrible scenario my mind can come up with in this 15 sec time slot which was actually many horrifying senarios. Nope. None of the above. Jaden decided it would be fun to stick Daisy in the bottom drawer of his new "heavy duty" dresser. Well its "heavy duty" all right. Enough to keep Daisy for wiggling her way out! Poor thing jumped out as soon as I pulled the drawer open. That poor dog. I just hope she will understand that is Jaden's unique way of showing his love for her.
WHAT WAS HE THINKING < this is a phrase the comes across my mind often when I think of my sweet Jaden Pierce Johnson. This kid is going to unashamedly preach the Gospel from the mountain top in a way that only Jaden can with a heavenly atonement. I can't believe I get to be his mom!!!!
I hope your night was as fun and eventful as mine!
Blessed
Mama B
