Kid's Why of the Week:
Kid: Why do we wait upon the Lord? (taken from the song we sing in church!)
Me: Well, sometimes God doesn't answer our prayers right away, and all we can do is continue to pray and know he will in his own way in his own time.
Kid: Why? Why does he do it on his own time?
Me: Because he knows more than we do what's good for us! Remember when your wrist hurt and he didn't heal it right away? You waited upon the Lord all night until the next morning, and that's when he healed it!
Kid: Yeah! And it's all better. I waited upon the Lord.
Do Tell (on yourself):
You know when those special days happen where your child just obeys? Every time? They are indeed remarkable. Last night we hit up our weekly neighborhood potluck and shortly after we were getting Kid dressed for bed. Our convo...
Kid: I need to tell you something.
Me: Yes?
Kid: I hit Gracie tonight when you weren't there.
Me: Oh, that's sad...that doesn't seem very kind. Did it hurt her, did you apologize?
Kid: I did. I said sorry and gave her a hug. But I didn't get in trouble.
Me: No, because I wasn't there.
Kid: No. You weren't. So what are we going to take away from me tonight?
Me: (hmmmn, good question! Do you still give a consequence when such honesty leaves their mouths?)... well, we should probably take away one book, because if I was there, that is probably what would happen.
Kid: I think that's a good idea.
Hair Styling, 101
Our diaper changing station is in our bathroom due to the cloth diaper/ spray the poop in the toilet situation (Sounds pleasant, doesn't it? Every master bedroom should reek of toddler poop all day--seriously, you're missing out if it doesn't).
Bee: Fikes. Fikes. Fikes.
