6yr old Birthday Interview with Cody

First, the favorites:

TV show or Movie - The Lorax (we actually very rarely watch TV, and I think its funny he said that movie since we haven't even seen it yet.)

holiday - Mondays, because my friend comes over. (we just stared babysitting a couple little boys every Monday)  (When I clarified 'holiday', he said "Christmas, because it has snow")

And a couple stories about Cody (by Mom):

A few weeks ago we had a lesson in Family Home Evening about tithing.  At the end, I gave the boys their allowance (which they get for completely things on their responsibility chart) and helped them figure out what 10% was.  When I look over, Cody is stuffing most of it into the "tithing" slot on his bank . . . So I say "Cody, you don't have to stick the much in there".  With enthusiasm he responds, "I want more blessings!" . . . When were at church filling out the tithing form, I showed him where to write his name, address, etc. and he said with a knowing nod, "So He knows where to send the blessings."

 

The other night, Cody and I were laying in bed and I sang him the song "Families Can Be Together Forever" which led to a discussion about how great it was that mommy and daddy would get to be together for eternity.  He asked what other people do that weren't married in the temple and I told him that sometimes they are married "till death do us part".  Cody concluded that he needed a girl who wanted to get married in the temple - he said, "I'll make a sign that says "I need a girl who wants to marry in the temple.  Girls who don't want to marry in the temple KEEP OUT!"  This made me smile.  Then he added to the sign, "If you expect to marry me - 1,000 dollars.  No, 10,000 dollars!"
