So, this past week Liz has expressed a lot of concern about where Drew and I will go after we die. She started out by talking about Hell--though she didn't know the proper term. It was "the place where there's lots of fire and the demon lives." She wanted to know what the people had there--specially if they had toys. No. No bodies so no capacity to hold toys. No toys. No fun things. Lizzie said, "Well, then I definitely don't want to go there."
I asked if Liz if she is worried that she will go "there." She said, "No, kids don't go there. Only grownups." Oh, yes. Of course. I asked if she was worried that mommy and daddy would go there. Yes. She is very concerned. Very, very concerned. And it doesn't seem to matter how many times I explain to her that we will be in heaven with her, she is still worried. So, now I'm wondering why she thinks we might go to Hell. I asked her, but she didn't have an answer.

Welllll . . . you never know. Just kidding. Ok - I just want to say how beautiful your babies are!!! I had a dream last night that you asked me to babysit them while you guys went and did something. Funny huh?
Don't worry about the coat thing - she will grow out of it. Paige did the same thing last year. I recently found out that Paige has had several tardies lately - not because I'm late, but because she lolly gags on her walk up to school. Frustrating!!
Was this comment random enough for ya?
I'm dreading those moments of questions. I don't know how some of you parents come up with appropriate answers within seconds. I'm going to be the parent that stalls till I can compose a good answer, (the follow day or week).
"Kuddos" to you for being patient with her curiosity.
