Caleigh has been learning alot of Christian songs during chapel at school lately. She has been singing Onward Christian Soldier, What A Mighty God We Serve, and The Lord's Army to name a few.
While practicing her new favorite, Joshua Fought The Battle of Jehrico, she spouted out some interesting lyrics that caused Chad and I to crack up quite a bit. Her version goes as follows.....
"Joshua fought the battle of Jehrico, Jehrico, Jehrico
Joshua fought the battle of Jehrico, Jehrico, Jehrico
And the walls came tumbling down.
You can talk about your men of idiots
You can talk about your men of song
But there is no good ole Joshua in the battle of Jehrico!
Joshua fought the battle of Jehrico, Jehrico, Jehrico
Joshua fought the battle of Jehrico, Jehrico, Jehrico
And the walls came tumbling down."

4 Year Old Bad Day
Caleigh spent the night with her Nonnie and came home this afternoon. As soon as she got here, a neighbor girl came over and asked if Caleigh could come out and play. Nonnie was still here and so I told her not right now. Caleigh got very upset and threw herself onto the foyer floor pouting.
During this time, my sisters and their babies showed up to pick up a chair. I asked Caleigh to get the chair and she cheered up and happily took the chair out to their car. She was very excited for the few minutes they were here but then she asked if one of the babies could stay for the afternoon and her mom said no.
Caleigh went back into pout mode. So, I took her inside and we played together. We painted, listened to some music she likes, played some computer games, and then got ourselves a snack. She wanted to eat a pack of sticks and cheese and then she wanted a snack pack of cheese balls. And then another pack of cheese balls. When she asked for another pack, I refused.
Her world crumbled. She was so devastated. She told me she was having the worst day every! First, she couldn't play with the neighbor, then her cousin couldn't spend the afternoon, and now I wouldn't give her any more food! Worst day ever! How I wish that things as trivial as this could constitute my worst days ever. Oh, to have the traumas of a 4 year old again.

Bananas
It is a total crime in this house to open a banana for Caleigh without FIRST letting Caleigh hold the banana up to her ear like a phone and say "Hello". She has to see if anyone is on it and/or have a short conversation with the person on the banana before she is ok with letting someone take the peel off. It started when she was about a year old and now, three years later, she still has to say "Hello" to every banana!

Under
Last night, or rather, very early morning, storms moved through our area. Caleigh awoke and very quickly asked if she could get in our bed because of the "under." "Understorms" have always frightened her and even if they haven't been during the night, she usually is hiding out in our bed until they pass. We have blackout curtains in our room so not much light or lightning makes its way into our room.
In the beginning, Chad and I tried correcting her and telling her they were called "thunderstorms" and "thunder" but it never seem to stick in her vocabulary. So now, this is one of those things and Chad and I use her terminology for and you can often hear us referring to the "under" and "understorms" ourselves.
She also seems to think that the storms will go away if they make their way to our neighbor's house across the street. So, she is always wishing for the storm to go to their house. I don't know why she does this but for some reason I guess she thinks that they can control the weather over there or something. If they have figured out how to do that, I wish they would share the knowledge!
