Hello Kitty Ring and Husbands

For some reason my daughter likes to bring up the topic of husbands and marriage quite often.  Sometimes, I think it is too often for a 4 year old.  However, when she brings it up, it reminds to pray for her future husband - that he will be a God-fearing man, love Lilly very much, be a family man, and be able to provide for his family, etc. 

The other day, she mentioned that when she does get married she wants her husband to buy her a Hello Kitty Ring as her wedding ring.  I told her that I would write that down to tell him when we meet him. :)

While we were on our trip to SC, we spent some time at my Dad's house.  My 15 year old brother lives there and Lilly absolutely loved spending time with him.  During our visit, she decided she was going to marry my little brother.  More recently, we had a conversation about who she could and couldn't marry.  She asked if she could marry Scott (my brother), Grandpop, Daddy, and a whole list of other relatives.  I told her you can't marry anybody who has the same blood as you and went on to explain that she has some of my blood, her daddy's blood, her grandparent's blood, etc.  She looked at me with an expression that told me she thought I was out of my mind. 

So, then I went on to name all of her friends who were an option for her to possibly marry one day.  I think she is beginning to get it, but I think she needs a little more information on the "blood" thing.

  1. so funny... I guess it must be an age thing... probably because that's when they start to notice "couples, weddings, mommy and daddy are husband and wife, etc" Natalia talks quite often about it too and she even said she'll marry daddy when she gets older and she'll wear a big, white dress! I can't help but wonder where she got that from! I didn't have a big white dress or any pictures with anything like that... but I guess she must have seen it on TV... so... yes... interesting!

  2. We gotta pray for our kids. Hopefully she'll first look for Jesus in her choice for a husband...but that's a long way off. Enjoy your blog.
