I smart, BoBo...

Ashton really is a pretty bright child - he comes by it about honest :)

Granny had picked Ashton up from school on Monday, and they went to WalMart before heading to Granny's house for supper. BoBo had gone to the gym and stopped by to get Ashton and her car - PaPa had taken it to Bud's to get the tire fixed and she was in Mommy's car. Ashton was a bit confused by all the car-swapping: "Dey fix you car, BoBo? Where Mommy car?"

He just warmed my heart on the way home from Granny's house last night, though. On Sunday, Ashton hurt his chin on a table at church - bit his lip, scraped his chin a bit, etc. That night, we read his big children's Bible with the pictures, including the stories about Jesus healing the man who couldn't walk whose friends lowered him thru the ceiling, and the story of the centurion's son who was healed. On the way home last night, Ashton told me his face didn't hurt anymore - "Jesus heawled me, BoBo, just like dat man and dat boy." He remembered our Bible stories!! We thanked God for "heawling" Ashton.

On Monday night, BoBo and Ashton curled up on the couch and watched Milo and Otis after picking out what we were going to wear on Tuesday. Ashton had a ragged fingernail and asked me to cut his nails for him. So, I cut his fingernails, and even managed to talk him into letting me trim his toenails! We went to bed fairly early after reading his Clifford puppy book with all the stickers and pull-outs, and listening to our prayers with Mommy and Daddy.

This morning (Tuesday) all was going well. Everything was ready to go, packed, birds out, everyone in the car by 7:29. Then, when BoBo cranked her car, the PSI on her tire was just 16! Aaagghh! She called PaPa and he met her and Ashy at Bud's. Ashton asked why we were there, and BoBo told him to get her car fixed. He asked "Dey not awready fix it, BoBo?" When PaPa got there, BoBo was just going to swap cars (hers for Erica's) with PaPa, and have him bring Ashton to school, but Ashton wanted his BoBo to take him to school. So, we loaded everything up in the Explorer and headed to Southeast while PaPa stayed at Bud's to get BoBo's car fixed again. Ashton got mad when he realized BoBo had left his "piwwow" in her car, and told me I was in BIG TROUBLE!
