1. Enoch has really great Primary teachers, Brother and Sister Larsen. Enoch really likes them. Probably too much (although my gut feeling is he would be super chatty with any teacher). Brother Larsen has learned not to make direct eye contact with Enoch during Sharing Time or class time unless he wants Enoch to talk non-stop about random topics for the next ten minutes. Brother Larsen looks straight forward while Enoch turns in his chair and stares directly at Brother Larsen without blinking. As soon as Brother Larsen makes any eye contact, Enoch is talking.
2. The other day Enoch walked up to me and said, "Do you know what would be really cool? If there were two of me!" I shiver at the thought.
3. On the way to church today Enoch was talking about organs - not church organs, but body organs. He is really into anatomy these days and how his body functions and all organs work together. He can never decide which organ is most important - his brain or heart. Today, he decided the most important part of his body was his Spirit. Oh, my sweet boy. He then said, "But, if my Spirit stops working and leaves my body, my body would be really squishy. Maybe when we make a bad choice, Heavenly Father should take away one of our bones. Then lots of people would be very squishy." Heathen. We had a short chat about free agency and repentance on the way into the chapel.
4. Tucking Enoch into bed is always a process. He likes to talk. I usually plan on about 10-15 minutes of chatting before he winds down. But I don't mind. He usually likes to talk about church stuff. Today he asked me if I knew everything. "No," I replied, "but who does?" He quickly answered Heavenly Father. Enoch then said, "I know a lot of things." "What do you know?", I asked (curious to hear his answer). "I know not to poop in the lawn." Yep Enoch, you do know a lot.
5. I'm pretty sure the pooping in the lawn comment came from the fact that Enoch is earning a potential dog. He made a deal with Mom and Dad. Every time he walks or plays with the neighbors dog he earns a point. When he gets six points, then Mom and Dad talk about getting Enoch a dog. When he earns six more points, Mom and Dad will talk again. I know, not very fair to Enoch, but he is having a lot of fun with Koda, the neighbor dog.

These posts are priceless. I don't remember the little things my children said like this because I didn't write them down. I am so proud of you for doing this! Keep those "dog points" going Enoch! And be sure to talk about spiritual things every night before bed. You are a wonderful boy and I love you! Heavenly Father loves you, too!
Oh how I have missed these posts about Enoch! Mom, Dad, Dave and I laughed so hard (up here in Jackson Hole) when we read these quotes. We all agree - JUST GET A DOG ALREADY!!
