time for your check up and other stories

jake loves to watch disney junior.  doc mcstuffins is a huge hit, among other shows too.  tonight as we were playing (having a pillow fight), i hurt my elbow.  i yelled "time out!"  jake said "what's wrong mommy?" i told him i hurt my elbow and he immediately ran into his room, grabbed his doctor kit and ran back to me.  this was our conversation:

jake: ok.  mommy, i'm doc mcstuffins.  tell me what hurts.
me: my elbow.
jake: ok.  let me take your pressure (meaning blood pressure) **he is singing the theme song**
mommy: jake, what does it say?
jake:  it says mommy you need to be more careful
mommy:  really? (jake is taking my pressure again)
jake:  yep.  this time it says you should play more carefully
mommy:  ok. i will.  is my elbow going to be ok?
jake: nope.  you can't play for 2 minutes. then it will be all better.
mommy:  thanks jake...i mean doc. mcstuffins.  you're the best!
jake: thanks mommy.  you're the best too.  you did a good job and you not cry.

one evening we were playing outside and jake decided to climb up on the porch, rather than go up the steps.  well, he got ready to climb up and stopped and turned back around.  looking at the ground he let's out a big "UH-OHHH!"

me: jake, what's wrong.
jake: mommy, you see that bug? that green bug?
me: i do see it. what's wrong?
jake: i stepped on it. i didn't mean to. is he ok?
me:  well buddy, i think he might die.
jake: oh no!  mommy, i can take him inside and take care of him.
me: i don't think so buddy.  he's not gonna live.
jake:  well, let me talk to Jesus.  He can make him better.
me:  ok.  go ahead and say a little prayer.
jake: God is great.  Jesus please make this bug get blowed up again.  And make him a big green bug again too.  thank you.
me: (melting and my heart feeling rather full)  that was sweet buddy.  i'm sure Jesus will make another big green bug just like him.
