Asher Is...

Asher is happy!
Today the home teacher came. He asked Asher a series of questions while teaching the lesson. It was fun to hear his answers. He asked if there were ever times when he wasn't happy. Asher's response; "Nope, I am always happy." Mom and Dad's response; We believe it. That kid shines with happiness. Nothing phases him. He just goes about life all rainbows and sunshine.

Our home teacher also asked him if he knew where the Holy Ghost lives. To which Asher pointed to his heart and said, "He lives here." So sweet.

Asher is tough
The other day we went out for a bike ride. Asher was doing his thing, which is going really fast and not paying attention, and he rode his bike right off the trail and tumbled down into a ditch. When Mitch and I got to him we were worried about what we would see; tears, blood, Asher tangled up in the weeds. Instead he popped up out of the ditch and LAUGHED! He laughed so hard and finally said, "The leaves made me not get hurt." Most kids, would be upset and scared just from the fall, even if they weren't hurt. He called it his "radical crash."

Asher is an angel.
Tonight, at bedtime, he really seemed to have the magic. He told me about Jesus and the resurrection. His detail and understanding blew me away. He said the sweetest prayer. He sang songs perfectly and beautifully. And to add to the fun of bedtime tonight, he made shadow puppets! Good shadow puppets. How he know how to make them I don't know.

Asher is funny.
We have started reading a book (okay fine it's Harry Potter, sorry to all the haters out there, but it's a good book and we are loving it!) We have read the same little children's books over and over at bedtime and I though change would be good. Asher has been finding the most obscure lines in the book and thinking that they are funniest thing he has ever heard in his life. The other night the phrase "drumming their finger on the glass" struck him and he laughed! Like seriously laughed. He didn't stop, and the more he laughed the more the rest of us laughed. For the past few days he will just say, "drumming their fingers on the glass" along with a demonstration, and just bust out laughing again. Gotta love a kid that finds true humor where no one else would.

He also likes to do thumb wars with himself.

"Asher, who is winning?"

"Me!"

Of course!
I took the blow dryer to both of the boy's hair one day because they wanted crazy hair. And it truly turned out crazy! (but I think it is crazy cute!)
