Having three very unique children can be challenging at times. They seem to come at me in all different directions with ideas, attitudes and such. Let's just say life is never boring. For instance:
I had a rough day and I guess it was showing because Jason, my four old, pulls me aside in his fatherly, wise way. You know that look of concern, with the hand on your shoulder. Suddenly I feel like I am the child. He says to me "Mom, you are very tired today and grumpy. You know if you took a nap you would feel a lot better, then you wouldn't be tired and grumpy" end of lecture and he seems extremely proud of himself for offering some good advice to Mom.
Emma declares while brushing her teeth that she is ALLERGIC to boys. Yes, indeed, allergic to boys. And let me tell you, I am very happy to hear this.. I know God will heal her at the right time.
Aaron now calls me shorty and gives me that blingy smile of his, you know braces showing, orange and blue. My 13 year old, surprise child with red hair that just a few years ago was hugging my legs now thinks it is cool that I have to look up to him.
Actually all of my children have made it their goal to be taller than Mom.. Good Luck Emma, I have a feeling you will be living in the land of giants for quite a while.
So a little this, that and the other keeps me going! A new day, a new adventure.....
