I was helping Girl4 in the bath tonight, which is when we have some of our deepest conversations.  I put the shampoo in her hair and she bunched it up on top of her head

Girl4:  Don't I look beautiful?

Me:  You sure do!

Girl4: This is how I am going to wear my hair when I get married and have a wedding.

Me:  That will look nice. 

Girl4: When I grow up I am going to be a mama and I'm going to have 5 children."(holding up her hand to show me 5).  But first I need to get married.

Me: You need to marry a man who loves God and His Word.  Mommy & Daddy pray that God will give you just the right man.

Girl4:  He's going to have to be like me. 

Me: What do you mean?

Girl4: He's going to have to have skin.

Me: (Holding back a chuckle) That would be important.

Girl4:And he's going to have to talk like me.

Me: Talk like you?

Girl4: Yes, because if he speaks Spanish or somethin we won't be able to talk to each other so he has to talk like me.

Me: Yes, I guess that would be important unless you learned to speak another language or if he knew two languages.

Girl4: And our boys are going to be named Sammy and Peter and our girl is going to be named Love(ends the sentance with her arms folded, a tilt of the head and a sigh).  And I am going to teach them about God and they are going to be so special!

Sometimes being a mom can be lots of fun:)

Here's another one from my deep thinking 4yo.

Girl4 comes into the kitchen and says:  Mommy, did you know God created the WHOLE world with just saying it?

Me: Uh, huh (patting myself on the back since I was her Sunday School teacher last month and taught on creation).  Isn't that amazing?

Girl4: He said, "Let there be the sun and it was just there."  God is very powerful.  I hope when I grow up I can be just like God so that whatever I say will happen just like I want it to.

Me:  Thinking to myself, Um...think I may have missed a step in the Sunday School lesson and need her dad to go over her theology a bit...
