On Robots and Ladybugs

What's Philip been up to lately?

He's been building robots.

Out of Legos.

And naming them 'Bob.'

They're all named Bob - apparently, that is the 'in' name for robots these days.

Then he insists on taking them to bed with him.

Yes, he takes a Lego robot to bed with him.

He says, "Bob's broken, Mom. Can you fix him?"

Thursday night, the kids had a VBS program at church.

Philip found a dead ladybug beneath the pew cushion.

"Can you fix him, Mom? He's broken."

Yesterday, I was working and John came down to help me.

Before he left the apartment, he called all the kids together to let them know he was going downstairs and they needed to be good.

He said, "I'm putting you in charge today Philip. Do you think you can handle it?"

Philip said, "I keep an eye on them."
