Wednesday Whatevers

Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."

Baylen you had so much fun at the park today

You are getting a little better using that leg

a little

it will come I know

I love to hear you giggle very loudly

You did that a lot today when I would chase you

You even convinced me to slide down an enclosed slide

Which seven months prego

well maybe was not so smart

Samantha

you came home early from school today

with a bad headache

But I could not keep  you pinned down

You so don't require any down time

ever

 It was all I could do was to have you rest in pjs

for about five minutes

then you wanted to play games

Not very sure how sick you really were

but

I did enjoy you home

I have a little secret to confess

when we work on homework sometimes I have to sneak off

and google answers

for real

I am coming clean

fourth grade math is starting to make me sweat a bit

thank goodness for google

Those times I say I am checking on something

or going potty

I really am googling prime and composite number

and rays

and the phases of the moon!

I had one of the best talks with you last night in bed

I love how you open up to me

My hope is that you always will

you had so many worries

so many questions

you have such a kind sweet heart

you were worried about middle school 

even though it is a ways away

well I like to tell myself that

You worry about changing and being a different person 

and not being nice

I told her I could never see that happen

I did a lot of listening

it was amazing all that came out of that little girls head

She said she wanted to stay little

I get anxious about parenting her right

and helping her through the upcoming years

But I must do what I told her

and take it a day at a time

and do all that I can do 

the best I can do it 

at that moment

I told her we will make mistakes

lots of them

but we will move forward and know that we learn from it

there is no need to worry

and put it all on our plates

right when we start to worry and feel overwhelmed 

we are not trusting God 

You shared so much with baylen today

You gave him your ring pop

He hugged you and said thank you pepper

this week yall got curly straws with your lunch 

for national milk week

you told me that you did not really need it

but wrapped it up to bring it home

to give to Baylen

because you knew Bo would bring one home

and you wanted baylen to have one

wow

Bo this morning you gave me a huge hug and said

lets get up now

I just filled you up with all the energy you need for the day with my hug

if he only knew how right he was

At dinner tonight you announced to everyone

I love everyone at this table the same!

You looked at daddy and hugged him and said I love you daddy because you are not mean sometimes

I love you mommy because I love you and you are so nice

I love you Baylen because you are nice to mommy and fun with her in the day

I love you pepper for checking on me at school

I love you piper because you are my best friend and you love to be with me all the time

then he ran over to Riley's picture and hugged it and Walkers

and said don't worry guys I love you too just as much as everyone in this room

now that is one sweet boy

he fills my heart with joy

they all

do

all day 

everyday

can't imagine how my cup will fill over with joy 

adding one more to this bunch
