Kids

Some of Pete's favorite things: turtles, turtles, turtles, the moon, poop, watching people mow the lawn, water (wa-wu), cashews, books with moons and turtles in them, floor puzzles and money (coins).

Some of Jamie's favorite things: eating, eating old food off the floor, eating paper and plastic bags, her brother, eating plain yogurt, playing in the bathroom, unplugging electrical cords, seeing me when I come get her from a nap, and eating.

We usually pray with the kids before naps, meals and bedtime. Sometimes when things get out of control and I feel like I am losing Pete's "attention" we stop and pray to "refocus" ourselves. The other night I asked Pete if he wanted to pray and he says, "I do." I ask "What do you want to pray for?" He says, "Daddy, I-dee (Jamie, pronounced , i'-dee), Onnie (really Connie, a friend of ours.)" So sweet. And when he says Amen I always smile.
