Sweet Prayers

Despite the fact that Reese had to go to bed early for being ugly to Mommy, we still read his Bible and prayed. Last week I started asking him what he wanted to pray for and letting him talk to Jesus himself. Mommy or Daddy will ask him what he wants to thank Jesus for and then he repeats after us as we pray. Until tonight, we have had to prompt him a little to get him going. I don't think he quite understood what we were asking of him. Tonight, however, was different.

Daddy asked him what he wanted to thank Jesus for and he quickly said, "Joy!" Joy is his babysitter. He waited a few moments and then said, "Lily" (his friend at church) pause "Lou Lou, Zoe, Jace, Lou Lou". These are all kids that he stays with at church during the week. He must have thought that Lou Lou needed a little extra prayer tonight since she was mentioned twice.

What a blessing to hear him pray for his friends!

Dr Destruct-o says, "I not!"

Laptops beware! Reese is on a mission to destroy you! A couple of weeks ago Reese threw someones MAC and killed the DVD drive. Tonight he dumped his juice cup onto Mommy's laptop. Thanks to some advice from some tech savvy friends, we were able to do some repairs ourselves and it looks like it will be ok.

Due to this fact, Mr Holder was on thin ice tonight. While in the bath tub he did not want to sit down while I rinsed his hair. When I told him to sit down his response was "I not!" That was a first. Mommy hadn't heard that answer before and didn't like it too much. He was told to sit down and not say that any more. I told him that wasn't nice and if he said it again he would have to get out and get in the bed early. Not surprisingly, on my next attempt to rinse his hair he stood up again and again he said, "I not" when I told him to sit.

Being true to my word, I pulled him out and he got in the bed. A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!

Why didn't someone tell me the terrible two's come early!
