conversations with paxton

Paxton is by far our most spirited child. He was a pretty good baby, a quiet toddler and then one day his personality burst out! Suddenly he could write, practically read, and he let out a fabulous personality we never knew he had. He is extroardinarily intelligent and remembers everything you say. Like his mother, he sees things in his own way which is usually quite different than what the rest of the world sees. This leads to many interesting conversations....like tonight

paxton: wouldnt it be cool if you could stay alive forever, its kinda sad that one day you get hit by a car and go bleh (he throws himself down and makes his best deceased face)

dad: well you get older and sometimes your body is just done , not allways a car lol

paxton: oh so like one day you will die, mom goes next , then parker, then me , piper , pearce and pike ....and oh wait Papa Tk...........hmmmmmmmmmm

dad: well he has a little more time left its ok

paxton : yeah, he needs a staff (pretending to walk with a cane and recalling this weeks Bible lessons on Moses) no not a staff, one of those things with tennis balls , yeah! (referring to an athletically enhanced walker)

a six year old has such profound thoughts on death :)
