like a sponge

today i heard younger on the front porch with our neighborgirl who is 4. somehow (i wonder how) younger's purse ended up on the front porch and her gum case had gotten broken. she was grilling our little friend for how it happened. they were going back and forth and just when younger thought she was getting somewhere, exasperated, she said "it's ok if you broke it, but you have to know that if you learn to lie now you are going to lie for the rest of your life and that's not ok." HAAAAAAAA! is that what it sounds like when i say that? she was so patient and kind. i had to call paul over to the window to listen it was so cute.

in other news, i know i haven't been blogging as regularly as i used to. a couple things have happened. one is that life happened. the other is that this last couple weeks have NOT been pretty around here. this fostering thing is tough! so any prayers you want to say for us are greatly appreciated around here right now.

and one more thing-in a previous post i called tatum's crib her crate. she IS still our baby and it IS still her crib. she doesn't sleep in it anymore because the bedding makes her too hot but i just wanted to clarify she has in no way gotten bumped to a lower rung. she's still our princess and the girls know that she is their sister and it is not ok to treat her any other way.

THAT IS SO CUTE! and so true. sounds to me like you are instilling some values in those little ones. I will double my prayer efforts for you all.

Nice job on the teaching! Sometimes it feels like you are not getting through to them and then there is that piece that makes you think, yup, we are! I am sending thoughts and prayers as well!
