Poem: Little Boys Are

My boys bless beyond measure and challenge me just as much. One day our home is peaceful, blissful even… the next utter chaos. My boys make my world go round and give my life a deeper purpose.

To my boys, Mommy loves you so very much and I pray for you daily. May you never lose sight of what is important and Holy for that is what life is about. It’s not all about winning. It’s not all about happiness. It’s not all about getting your way.  It’s not all about the easy way or the easy things.  It IS about love.  It is about helping people improve their lives through Christ.  It is about thinking outside of and beyond yourself.  You are each one person who has the power of Jesus in them and that means you can move the mountains, my sons.  Keep drinking from the Living Water for sustenance and HE will carry you through. God writes the story… your story.  The valleys are just parts of the story just like the peaks are.  Take each in stride and be grateful for both in their turn.  You have my heart, my Loves.

I found this on Facebook and I don’t know who authored it but I loved it and I wanted to share it with my boys.


Dirt and trucks
Hugs and kisses

Bumps and bruises
And near misses

Running, jumping
Screams and shouts!

But there is one thing
All boys are: I’ve figured out

Little boys are…
Going to grow up much too fast
So, I want to enjoy it while it lasts

Control Issues?

Sawyer is in tears with Jacob right now because I told Sawyer that I would be fine if Kamatz bit him or scratched him and made him bleed.

Why would I say such a thing?!
Because Sawyer is going through a phase of picking on/ hurting Kamatz for NO reason. I will NOT have this!
So, I play to Sawyer's weaknesses... blood, my disappointment in him, a spiritual plane (God's creation), etc.

That means there's now a bit of "good cop, bad cop" happening. Jake isn't negating anything I said but instead helping Sawyer understand WHY I said it.

Parenting at it's finest in my book.

No More Video Games

Just had to lay down the law for Sawyer about NOT asking for Chuck E Cheese style games for our HOME! He wants them and says there's enough room in our backyard. Sheesh! Now he's pouting by making a whining sound and putting his ears under the bath water. DRAMA KING!!

This was after we went to Chuck E Cheese in La Mirada for Jacob Wilk's 5th birthday with the Wilks, Sissoyevs, and Rileys.

Goof

Sawyer just came into my room, said hello, told me he has to go poop
and wants to go in here so we can communicate.
Oh Lordy!
