Today was fast and testimony meeting at church.
Cael often gets confused by the "tears of joy" shed by people. We are constantly trying to explain to him that people often cry when they are "touched by the spirit". Such an instance happened today.
A young girl in our ward was sharing her testimony and began to cry.
Cael says, "Why is she sad?"
I said, "She's not sad, sweety....she's being touched by the spirit." (We have explained to him that sometimes when we are really happy, especially when talking or thinking about spiritual things, we cry because our hearts are so happy and our spirits are so happy.)
So...after we got home from church we were eating lunch and Kian started to cry.
Cael says to me, "Mom...is Kian being touched by the spirit."
He he...awesome kid.
Hopefully some day I will be able to explain the "touching-of-the-spirit-crying-thing" well enough to him that he will actually understand it.
Until then...we can just laugh.

Love it! If only that was the reason for all little kids crying.
That is cute!
Oh, that is so cute! That means he's sweet! Logan could care less if someone cries!
That is soooo cute- Cael is soooo cute! You should have seen him yesterday in Primary- He was the reverence child and did so good- I do believe he was feeling the spirit while he was up there- and when he sat down, put his reverence sticker right on his forhead to keep his thoughts reverent! What a kiddo! And he was our spotlight, and was so excited about the things we were saying- He was darling!
Next K is crying I'll have to just stop and remember that she is being touched by the spirit. Of course the shreiking and kicking can't actually be explained that way.....
lol!!! I love it!
Love it! Kids are the best.
