My sweet, handsome little nephew was born 4 years ago today. Unfortunately I missed the birth because I was at my college graduation, but my sister labored and delivered al natural...yes! by choice. :) He is a joy to be around and Rya adores him. We are having a joint birthday party this weekend. I have been looking forward to this for a long time! The kid is sharp as a tack and is a natural at pretty much every sport. They will probably get orders to move when Doug gets back from the desert...a move we are not looking forward to.
Rya is a machine lately. She has dropped her afternoon nap and has really given us challenges in the bathtub...she doesn't want to sit down anymore. It's not an option. Outside of the tub she wants to be scaling the wall or climbing over anything AND everything. I have started "ON YOUR HINEY!" in the Mom voice when she gets into the Danger Zone and it usually works. I'm not a fan of the boundary pushing though and she is definitely testing me at times.
My prayer for National Day of Prayer is this: God, please bless this country, bless our homes, & bless our hearts. Lord, please help us to make good decisions and to not be quick to judge. Please help us keep peace in our hearts and stillness in our minds. Please comfort those that are mourning. Please give strength to those that are sick. Please give hope to those that are weary. Thank you for all that you are and all you have done for each and everyone one of us. Amen.

Beautifully said. Amen.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the boundaries. I think you're doing great. When it comes to safety, there's no compromise. We're working on the holding hands in the street/parking lots. He's not a fan, & I don't care! <3
