Oops, Two Brains!

Well, thank goodness for our dear 5-year old, we now know why Drewby has some behavior issues. Yesterday while Drew was throwing one of his tantrums and I was asking, "what in the world is wrong with this kid?" Ashton said, very matter-of -factly, "Mom, I know what is wrong with Drew, God made a mistake and gave him 2 brains, one is a nice brain and one is a naughty brain...we better take him to the doctor and get the naughty one out." Now, I really do believe that Ashton knows this is not the case, and was just trying to stick up for his little brother. He laughed right after he said it and gave me the sweetest little grin, which made me laugh as well and stop stressing over our very difficult 3 year old.

Wow, I'm going to miss having Ashton around in the Fall when he leaves for Kindergarten. :(

Prayer

Ashton and I spent time reading in his bible tonight and then he was praying to God to help the children who don't have homes. Tears from Mommy were rolling and then he looked up at me and said, "Mommy, why did God make children without homes?" I had to answer with an "I'm not sure, but we try to trust that God has a reason for everything and he knows best."

Thank goodness he ended the night so sweetly as we went through some bumps with him today, yet another way that God shows me how wonderful our children are and how blessed we are.

May God watch over all those children and adults who are without homes, food, and comfort tonight and may we remember just how blessed we truly are.

Drewby

This is what happens when you leave the lid off the sandbox, it rains, and Drewby spots a big mess that is just perfect for playing! Gosh, you just gotta love this kid!
