Sweetness.

Every night she picks a different stuffed animal to take to bed with her. Right now it alternates between a tiny little reindeer, her puppy, and her "soft baby." It's dark in the mornings when it's time to wake up so I hear her quietly walk into our room and ask, "Mama, is it up time now?"

He's growing up....

I dropped Rand and Ella off at Awanas and watched them walk in by themselves. I stepped back behind the entrance doors to make sure they got to the correct groups, and was just about to leave when the leader said it was time to close in prayer. Rand piped up, "May I please close in prayer?" And then he went up on the stage in front of so many children, and prayed a very sweet prayer. He addressed his prayer to "Dear Jesus Christ," thanked God that they could meet at this wonderful church, and thanked God for Awanas, and thanked God that they could have a good night.

It was so sweet, and I was so pleased and proud to see how he acts even when he thinks I'm not watching.
