I'm Me Again!!

Unfortunately JB is not photographed. My buddy was running and playing faster than a speeding bullet!! He was going non-stop!!!! You can't catch that kind of action packed fun on film! :)


This past Tuesday I took the kids to a play date with some of our friends. HC and JB ran and played and jumped and laughed for about 2 hours straight!!! We all met up at a local indoor space walk place. (By the way, our next Tuesday meeting is at COTH again. My kids are so over that play ground. Any local friends interested in meeting at Rec Station next week too, I still have BOGO coupons and I know that is where we will be - the usual time. Let me know if you are interested.) Back to the story, - the kids were tired and having fun!! It was time for lunch. I told the kids it was time to go and JB was NOT happy. A grumpy JB appeared right before my eyes but I ignored his reaction because I knew he was tired and hungry.

We were in the van, on our way to meet friends for lunch, and HC was chatting away! Then I hear JB say something and I wasn't sure if he was talking to me or not. I turned around and he said "Don't wook at me MOM. I talk to God." So I turned back around (surprised and wondering what he was doing). Then I hear "Dear God (hands together in the praying position - sooo cute) help me be JB. Help me be JB again in Jesus name. Amen." Then he says in a super happy tone "MOM!!! I'M JB AGAIN!! I'M JB AGAIN!! I'M NOT MAD ANYMORE!! I'M ME!!!!" I was so proud of him and so surprised that he thought to do this!! I was even more thrilled to see he truly let go of his grumpiness and we had the best time at lunch!! I am loving these quick glimpses God is giving me into my sweet kiddo's hearts!!!!!!! What a treasure!!

Wow, I just loved this. Keep praying that this stays routed in his little heart to always go to Jesus first.

Good lesson for me to learn as well.

So cute! That is great!
I'm sad that we missed the playdate. We really planned on coming but our grocery store trip took longer than I expected =(
