Things I want to remember
posted on 05/25/2009
- We spent the weekend in Dallas for Melis' wedding celebration, and Lana is still talking about the hotel, only she calls it a "show and tell."
- She was digging for worms with her Daddy before they went fishing a few days ago, and when she pulled up a really big one, she said, "Daddy! Look at this joker - he's so squiqqly!"
- Lana's two favorite Bible stories right now are the ones about Eli & Samuel, and Jonah and the big fish. She asks me to tell them to her over and over, even though she knows them herself. We spend most of our driving time in the car this way...me telling her Bible stories and us talking about what God wants us to learn through them. Precious, precious time.
- We were at B&N's train table a week or so ago, and there was only one little boy playing there. He was NOT excited about having to share the trains....he kept pushing Lana & snatching them away from her, while his mom sat there and just watched. I kind of hung back & watched, too - I wanted to see how she would respond. We've talked in our family devotions about repaying evil with blessing....what a perfect opportunity to see if she "gets" it. She just kept giving him funny looks as he pushed her around, until finally she was done. He snatched away a train she had picked up, and she looked at him very sternly and said, "You're doing sin!" And then she & I had a talk about forgiveness - how we are to forgive as Christ forgives us....it was interesting to watch the little boy's mom take it all in.
- Everything right now is a "family." From my nail polish bottles to leaves in the driveway, there is always a daddy, mommy, big sister, and a baby. Sometimes there's a grandma, too.
- She's still such a sensitive little girl! If we just talk to her in a stern, no-nonsense voice, she'll often break down crying, accompanied by her wailing "Don't yell at meeeeeee!" It's so hard not to laugh because it's nowhere close to yelling.
