Excuse me, do not be afraid


Hopefully, R's little issue is all cleared up and he is all better. Everyone went to school and work today without any phone calls telling us to come pick him up! YEAH!!! K stayed home Tues. with him and I stayed yesterday. We made a quick trip to the pharmacy to get some medicine the nurse told us about. As I was standing talking to the pharmacist R kept saying "hey,hey" Now we have taught him to say excuse me and I guess I should be proud of what happened next, but I don't think the pharmacist thought it was as cute as I did. Finally R said "Excuse me!" and the pharmacist said "yes". R looked at him as serious as anyone you have ever seen and said "this place got any toys?" I about fell out right there! I could not believe he asked that. Again the pharmacist was not much for small talk let alone 3 year old small talk. I am glad he isn't a pharmacist at a children's hospital because he would definitely have to get his giggle box checked. I mean seriously who wouldn't have thought that was cute??!!

It was an eventful afternoon with storms coming through. K was still at work so he picked up the kids on his way home. It was really looking a little scary outside! I knew he wouldn't want his truck parked outside the garage with the threat of hail. So I quickly went to work rearranging the garage and moving the four wheeler to the back. When I got to the backyard I thought I should pick up the hundreds of toys that decorated the entire yard. I don't know why but I just had visions of R's dump trucks or RK's horse flying through the back window of the house. I know it probably would never happen, BUT they were calling for strong winds so I took action.
I was finishing up when K got home and R came running through the house yelling "Hey, thats my cool four wheeler!" Then when K got on to move it closer to the house R was going nuts "Wow Daddy,Wow Daddy!" Just hearing the sound the wheeler got him all excited.

As we started working on dinner the thunder and lightening got a little more frequent. R sat at the bar and kept covering his ears every time it thundered. He said it scared him and I told him it would be ok. I asked him who we could ask to help us if he was scared and DING DING DING he said JESUS!! (made this mommas heart very proud!) I said yes, you are right you just ask him for help and he will help you. He said momma I ask Jesus to make me not scared anymore!! I pray each day that the things we are teaching R and RK sink in. I thank God for little signs like this that encourage us to keep on teaching Jesus to our babies!







In case your are wondering RK was entertaining herself (entertainment=food in her world) with some applesauce! She is a mess.
