This is a story post on the funny things from Ellianna:
"Fergianna"
Elli-"Mommy, I have a baby sister at home."
Me, "Really? What is her name?"
E-"Fergianna"
Our dog's name is Fergi. Pretty creative don't you think?
"Worms"
We had the TV on a channel showing the show "Man Vs Wild" before bedtime one evening. The man was looking for something to eat and found a thick juicy worm. He then prodceeded to eat it. Elli's hand went directly to her mouth and she told me she needed to "fro-up." We ran upstairs and she leaned over the toilet. Nothing happened, but she did it three more times. We finally put her to bed and she woke up an hour later saying, "Mommy, I going to fro up." I went upstairs and took her to the bathroom. All she could say was, "That worm. He eat that worm?"
Poor little girl. It made quite an impression. I guess we are not raising a doctor afterall.
"Jonah"
ON the way to school this morning, Elli heard the song, "Who did swallow Jonah." Here's the conversation that followed:
Elli-"That whale swallowed Jonah" "Yes, Elli." "Why" "God wanted to teach Jonah a lesson." "Why?" "God wanted Jonah to learn to obey him so the whale swallowed Jonah then spit him back out." "Who is God?" "God is the one who made all of us even Jonah and the whale." "Mommy, God lives in heaven with Jesus?" "Yes, Elli." "Can I go to heaven?" "Yes, Elli. If you ask Jesus to forgive all your sins you can go to heaven and live with Jesus." "And I can go to his house and have dinner?" "Yes Elli. You can go to his house and eat a very big dinner."
What a wonderful story and sweet reminder that we will go to heaven, go to God's house, and eat dinner:) Maybe Elli should explain salvation to others who don't know yet. It is much easier to understand.
