Out of the Mouth of Babes...

Or 4 year olds. Tonight for Family Home Evening, Carter had the lesson. He chose to give the lesson on reverence. This was his insight.

"Reverence isn't just sitting there, its when you think about Jesus."

How true. What a lot of simple insights I have to learn from my kids.

And so it begins....

We began with the ever famous 'Potty Training' with K a couple of days ago. She has done alright. C was much easier. She is so independent and stubborn and since its not her idea, she just doesn't want to do it. She knows how, and can physically do it. So the battle of the wills begins... (I'm sure my mother is just laughing right now and thinking to herself how much I deserve a daughter just like me!) We will have to see how much patience I have and how long this takes. I've already considered giving up...

On another note, our vacation was fabulous. The kids had a wonderful time, we had a wonderful time, I would love to do it all over again. Maybe in a few years. There will be more to come, as soon as I can sort through pictures and catch up on the laundry.
