I’m Micah 

Tonight while we were getting ready for bed Micah was asking lots of questions…

Mama: I like that you are curious

Micah: I’m not curious, I’m Micah

Mama: You can be lots of things. You can be Micah and curious and smart and-

Micah: No I can be two things because I am two. So I am Micah and I am also very very very VERY nice. 

Straw or brick?

Last night while getting ready for bed…

M: Who built our house mama?

Me: I don’t know, it was built a long time ago honey. 

M: Oh. Well, is our house made of straw or bricks?

Me: Bricks. 

M: So it will stand up, it won’t fall down?

I think someone read Three Little Pigs recently…

I Will Protect You

While Dada was putting up the shower curtain rod in the bathroom (which had fallen down), Micah came into my bedroom.

MrH: “I will protect you, Mama. I will protect you from the loud noises.”

Mama: “Oh that’s so sweet, come give me a hug!”

He came over and stood next to me.

MrH: “I will hold your hand. I will stand right next to you. I will protect you while Dada making loud noises.”
