Spiritual Driving Lesson

So tonight as we went to pick up Addy from dance I took both the boys and Nanny with me. The boys wanted to listen to particular songs during the ride, Jesus take the wheel being one of them. We got there a little early and while waiting in the car the following conversation took place........
Dawson- "Mom Jesus did a not so nice thing in that song"
Me-" What" (slightly confused)
Dawson- "Jesus did something that was not nice in that song"
Me- "What do you mean?"
Dawson-"Well Jesus just took the wheel from her and he didn't even ask"
Me-(smiling and slightly chuckling)"Dawson he wasn't being mean, she was saying to him- Jesus take my wheel. Daws what does a steering wheel do?"
Dawson- " It turns the car right or left"
Me-"Ya.It helps you to turn so you can stay on the road. She was asking Jesus to take her wheel and help her get back on the road. She felt like she had made some bad choices or turns and needed help getting back on the road or the right path. Who do you think is the best driver ever?"
Dawson-"JESUS!"
Me- "That's right! So that is why she is asking him to take her wheel and help her get back on the right road. Do you think he will help her?"
Dawson-"Ya"
Me- "Do you think he will help you if you need help when you make a bad choice or a wrong turn?"
Dawson-"YES"
Me- "Your right of course he will. He loves us so much he wants to help us we just have to ask. Just like she did in the song!"
Dawson-"Ya"

It ended up being quite a touching moment. I love this kid and am so grateful for his sweet simple yet strong testimony! It strengthens mine daily! Love ya Dawson

Great job Beat Freaks!

Little Man's Stitches

Ky got his 1st set of stitches last night-Thursday 11th. He was playing with Addy in the living room and then walked to the kitchen to get a drink. He hit the corner of the bar and cut his forehead open. Addy was a little traumatized but was able to think under pressure and got the situation under control! Ky handled it like a champ.Afterwards-All smiles!

I am sure this is the first of many stitches for this little guy. Especially since he tries so hard to keep up with his older brother!

"Regular me"

So tonight(the 8th) as we were reading Dawson's take home book, which was about frogs, we had the following conversation........
Me-Look at that frog. It looks like he has warts all over him.
Ky-Ya
Dawson- Ya Mom it does.
Me- Hey Dawson how is that wart on your toe anyway(we took him to the Dr. to freeze it off)
Dawson-It all gone Mom! Now I'm just regular me and not wart me!!!!

I just love this kid!

MUD

Seriously- He is all boy!!!

And I love it!
