Navajo Music

so you are probably wondering why iadded " Jesus Loves Me" in Navajo to the bottom of our blog. Well, my mom asked me today to make a blog for their summer mission team that will be going to ManyFarms, AZ which is on the Navajo Reservation for a mission trip over labor day weekend. I embeded some Navajo music into that blog and really liked the Jesus Loves Me song, as the lyrics are in both Navajo and English, but it is sung in Navajo. It sounds beautiful to me.

Tuckered out!

On Tuesday we played hard. Lots of time outside chasing chickens, working in the garden, chasing the dogs, catching toads... all makes for a tired boy!

Case was not ready to go to sleep (according to him) and so instead of listening to him throw a fit, I wanted to get dinner done and let him play on his floor. well, after about 5 minutes of playing the room went silent. I walked into the room, and found Case.

With his blankie in one hand, crashed on the floor of his room.

Case knows what he wants... raisins!

millipedes

today we learned that millipedes are almost-edible, all they do to defend themselves is secrete a really stinky, and only Case would know, horrible tasting stuff. I have no idea where he found the millipede, as we were in my classroom, but, after all, it is an Ag-classroom....

Oh, and last night he said the word "poop". 3 times.
