Today's plans: cleaning & organizing, teaching the kids to work, potty training.
Got more done on my room, cheered the kids on through their cleaning of toys, and gave up on potty training efforts for today. Toby seems to not be feeling well or in a growth spurt and acts like the addition of potty training is just too much. We'll try again next week. For my part, hopefully I can get more work done without adding that into it.
Zoe was excited to help me prep our afternoon snack and learned how to peel carrots and cucumbers. It was fun to see her so excited about accomplishing something in the kitchen. Tomorrow we will tackle homemade graham crackers.
This evening, Zoe and I went to the hospital to visit her friend who's there with pneumonia. We had an amazing conversation on the way home about the mystery and questions of life concerning bad things happening to people and God's control. We had just finished talking about it when "Your Loves Never Fails" came on the radio...which helped cement that conversation. Relating it to how as a parent I will let Zoe feel pain or be upset at me in order to do what's best for her (not letting her eat candy all day was the illustration) and it's because of my deep love for her, not a lack of love for her. Love these organic opportunities to talk about truth.
Enjoyed some Duck Dynasty and yummy dinner before tucking my sweet kids in to bed. So thankful for this life I get to live.
