Truth

I was in the kitchen yesterday when I hear a slapping sound from the playroom followed by A. crying. Both boys come running toward me very, very fast. A. is holding his cheek and T. has this look f panic. T. wants to get him the booboo ice but when I ask what happened I had to hold back a laugh. T. looked me straight in the eye and uttered " I did NOT hit him in the face" Have to love it. He is trying not to get in trouble but ended up telling me exactly what happened. And it isn't the first time he has done it. "I did NOT hit him with my cup" "I did NOT pee on the floor". Love that little boy

Play date

I describe my oldest as in need of an audience. Everyday he asks who is coming over to play. And not that he is completely interactive yet but he is getting there. But he plays better if another child (besides brother) is nearby. But take away the audience and he is a fly stuck on me. So I prefer play date after play date. I admit I am a lazy play date host. I prefer it mostly at my house- my comfort zone and i park my prego belly in a chair an rarely get up. I pointed out to a friend my observation of T and his need of an audience. She looked at me and said "Don't you think it's also you that needs an audience". I had to think about it for awhile and realized how right she was. Think about it. How often does the day go by faster when we have friends over. Or do we call a friend just to chat while we do laundry. My days go by faster when shared. In knowing this i should try to slow down and enjoy my days with just my boys...but instead I'm opening up my house....WHO WANTS A PLAY DATE =)

Faith

Having blind faith is one of the hardest thinks one could ever do. Jumping off the cliff hoping the bungee cord pulls you back up. Right now I am putting everything in Gods hands and knowing he has a bigger and better plan. Even bigger and better than I can ever imagine. The hard part is releasing my hold on things and giving it up to God. Why do us Christians have such a hard time giving up control even when we know he can control it better? Here is to faith...and jumping off the cliff!
