in spirit at least! Out of the many blessing in my life my kids are in the top 3. Not that being a parent is easy but it is rewarding. Let me share some of my kids latest "Spirit lifting" words.
Jadyn asked me the other day, "Mom do you ever feel like nobody loves you?" Of course we all know the answer to that question, "Jadyn, everybody feel that way, sometimes. I remember feeling that way as a child and sometimes even now as an adult. Or sometimes just feel bad about myself like when I get upset that I am fat.....here she interrupts me, "But mom! how much weight have you lost?" I tell her and she answers with "See Mom! Your not fat anymore, just a little bit fat!" After that I was the one needing the encouragement.
I was at the dentist office and Ethan was sitting on my lap and a commercial came on about weight loss and I made a remark about being fat and Ethan says"Your not fat mommy, your Skinny!" Then he hugs me and rubs my stomach and says, "Look how skinny you are..........rub rub rub.........Mommy, why do you have Two bellies? I only have one, see, and you have two."
A week later he informs me I have two butts....with all this encouragement I might get the big head....o well at least it will match the rest of my body! lol!
Maybe I should go read the scripture about being fearfully and wonderfully made!
At least Tre` is a real encouragement, I think.....He thought I was 29 until a few months ago. Sooo sweet of him to think that all this time, I hope he has told all his teachers and friends that so I will never need tell them my real age, I'll be 40 and he would have been telling everybody I was 29....of course that would b kinda scary as I don't think I am aging quite like Demi Moore ;)
Cayden, he is wise beyond his years, he doesn't say a word either way.....unless I force him to and sometimes I do just to get him ;) He is so much like Gary.....
I have to re-Edit this post after tonight.....we were at Walmart and Cayden and Tre` are walking behind me laughing and ....DRIVING ME CRAZY....then Cayden tells me what Tre` said that was so "funny" to them....
If I walked as they said I did, my hips would be out of place....*sigh* It's been a LOOOOOng afternoon that has stretched into tonight.
