Why Jesus made bad people?

After reading his Star Wars book during bedtime, we talked about good people and bad people. He asked me why Jesus made bad people. I explained to him that Jesus didn't make bad people but Jesus let people choose to be bad or good. And some people decide to be bad. Good enough explanation for him, for now.

Mailbox

Jeremy wanted to say goodnight to his father tonight but when we tried to call, he wasn't answering. Instead we were directed to his mailbox. Jeremy heard the mailbox voice before we hung up. Jeremy asked if mailbox is a box for boys. He thought it was MALE box instead of MAIL box. Hahaha.

Counting beyond 20

He counted to 39 tonight in bed. But he needed help with 30 and 40. I asked him who taught him to count. He said Teacher Sofie.

We'd been trying to teach him the numbers to 100 at home but it seemed it just flew over his head. I guess it's more fun learning the numbers in school.

Sometimes last week he started counting beyond 20 as well and he managed to count until 60. I very impressed with him.

His favorite no is 11.

That's not Jeremy's towel

I put it the striped & colorful towel in his bag to bring to school for today because he ran out of his regular, plain color towel. He hasn't used that striped towel for a long, long time. The last time he used it was probably when he was still a toddler.

When I picked him up this evening, Teacher Rose told me how Jeremy was confused when he found that towel in his bag. He told his teacher that it wasn't his towel. He also told me it wasn't his.

I should have told him last night I was putting that towel in his bag.

Thank you for listening

We were on the way home this evening when Jeremy asked me to turn to the junction before the normal junction we take home in Likas. When I drove through that road, which he called the new flat road, he said to me "Thank you for listening, mommy." I told him I listen to him because he listens to mommy. I also told him to listen to mommy next time. He nodded his head and said "mmm." So sweet of him.
