"We help our children present themselves to the world when we keep them clean and well-groomed. This is a courtesy to our children, and it is a courtesy to others. It is much more enjoyable to talk to a child who has a clean, shiny face, than a child with a dirty nose. This is simply the way we are made. We are honoring them when we wash their faces. Mothers should dress their children appropriately and teach them that dressing improperly can be discourteous. Hair hanging in their faces or sloppy, unkempt clothing is difficult to get past."Praise Her in the Gates by Nancy Wilson p52.
Today we walked and talked and read in the sun.
She is such a bright spot in my life!!!!
A literal ray of sunshine. She is sweet and kind and loves righteousness.
I am simultaneously encouraged and convicted by her.
In an attempt to hone in TV-watching...I've introduced No-TV-Monday.
To make it more palatable we do a fun project. Today we made smores for the first time ever.
My husband laughs at me on his way to work. LOL He says I'm basically torturing myself.It does take a lot of a person who wakes up at 3:30 every morning.
But they find things to do. Kaden is working on his suture kit.
