My Favorite "Jesus" Stories

Before we switched our Ellis family website over to a blog (the one with all of Garrin's family) , I went through all 135 pages and pulled out all my comments...wow...it was 24 pages of my journal (since I didn't keep one..but just chatted with all the family lots!) I had forgotten SOOO many things

Here are my favorite "Jaycee and Jesus" stories.

Sep 9 2001 (Jaycee is 2 1/2)
This morning Jaycee crawled in bed with me...bringing along her 2 babies. I asked her what her baby's name was and she quickly replied "popsicle". I asked her again and she was firm on that one and knew exactly what she was saying! This is the popsicle queen---its the first thing she asks for when she wakes up in the morning AND at naptime....and about 20 times in between!

Anyway---I then asked her what the "other" baby's name was and she quickly replied "Jesus Christ, Amen". Don't know where we got her...but I informed her that it *probably* wasn't a good name for a baby and we settled on Kelly (since Shawnee and Kaylee both have dolls named that). Jaycee is getting too big for her britches! At least I know that she's paying attention when we help her say her prayers at night. LOL!

Nov 5 2001--At Halloween, while trick or treating, she saw a guy with a long face mask and long hair that was kind of scary looking. Not sure who he was suppose to be but she said..."I dont like that Jesus". I'm having a hard time explaining that every man with a beard isn't Jesus

Dec 10 2002 (Jaycee is a little over 3 1/2)
If you can't already tell what a funny kid Jaycee is...here's another example. Tonight I'm helping her with her prayers and trying to get her to say a little on her own. So I go for the fill in the blank help. I say..."I'm thankful for..." and she just sits there. I prompted her by saying "tell Heavenly Father what you are thankful for". She looks up at me and says "for CANDY!" Oh well---guess we'll try another day. LOL! I thought she'd say her family. Hehehehehehe.

Jan 27 2003
At church yesterday--Jaycee said to me..."MOM....I know how to READ now". Since she's 3 1/2...I said, "Really? Who taught you how?" She replied "Jesus did....while I was sleeping!"
