- having to wear brown cords
- having a long sleeve shirt on
- the hood on his jacket not being "right"
Husband packed both the boys and me into the van and instructed me to go to mass (Thursdays are school mass days), clear my head, and get a new perspective. Thank God for that man. He stays so calm and collected! And he was right - it was just what I needed. As I sat there, with our beautiful boys on each side of me holding my hands I thought, "Okay Lord, I can do this. For some reason you chose me to be the mother of these boys, so you must have thought I was a good match for both of them". Just then, Connor looked up at me and asked me to snap his pants. As I leaned over to fasten them, he cheerfully said,
"Mommy, I'm really having fun wearing these pants! In fact, I really like the pants and the shirt together!"
Seriously - what do you do with that? Laugh, or cry?

both.
I'm just smiling shaking my head. Lately we've begun every day with Griffin saying, "Mommy. I love you. I'm going to do what you say the first time you say it." And then one of us will respond, "Good. Now will you please put your shoes on (said for the third time.)
Smiling, shaking my head...laughing...crying...both.
Cry...no...laugh...no...cry...oh boy! I can hear him and picture his sweet little face. What a CHARACTER.
Last week was an extremely difficult week in the Christiansen household. Parenting was not easy. Tears were shed and therapists paid! In the end, I still don't understand why God has given me my two little dearies...but I can't imagine myself with any others. Conversely, I can't imagine them with any other parents...THEY WOULD BE IN BIG TROUBLE anywhere else! :)
