Some of Seth’s words from the past month or so:
“Mama, if the sun goes down under our dirt, it’ll explode our trees!”
“I’m not wasting time, Mama, I’m eating time!”
“We’re blinking with fireworks!” “Hey, I see lightning in there!” “The fire keeps burning under the ground!” (Comments he shouted during Peter’s fireworks display in GA at the end of last year.)
Seth saw a picture of an unborn baby and told me, “Look! it’s a mommy sitting by the fire!”.
“I’m going to draw America. Now I’m going to draw Blue Ridge. See, it is blue. I’m drawing the blue. And some sparkles on the ocean.”
I had shown the boys pictures of when I was in Russia with my family quite a few weeks ago and recently Seth asked me, “Mama, where’s the sea that got black?”
I’ve recently enjoyed playing Pandora radio stations. Seth asked me the other day “Mama, what’s that song called? Is it called ‘I Don’t Know’?”
Here’s a note Seth dictated for me to write in a card he drew for Mema:
“Dear Mema,
This card is for you and the card has letters in there for you, and our trash barrels are empty. And you have to fly over. And the cards have to be loaded with letters. And Jerome’s doing his math and Mommy is writing to your letters and your letters are going to be like C. And Raven is sitting out in our yard. And on front of the card is the ocean and on the back of the card is the ocean too. And there’s the dirt under the sea. And the flowers are dying. And Jerome is doing his math and Audrey is playing outside but she’s going inside because it’s boring outside for her, and Mommy is writing down this. And the teapot is going to get ready for it to make tea and the tea cups are staying inside. And the yogurt is going to be ready to be eaten. And Raven is staying inside and she’s lying down. And anything more. And I love her and miss her.
Love, Seth”
