Wise words from a 2 year old

Brayden to Luke today during a tantrum: "Calm down brother"

Brayden to Mommy during tantrum #5 of Luke's (but who's counting) : "Mommy, brother need calm down".

Now if Luke would only listen to the good advice of his brother....man, that was just so cute.

So I have two toddler beds and the goods for their new "big boy room". I have been talking about their new big boy bed to try to prepare them and telling them daddy would put their beds together this weekend. I wasn't sure how much was sinking in but before nap time Luke insisted (screamed) that he wanted his "new bed". I'm not so sure how much he really wants it or if he just wants something to tantrum about. Regardless, I'm running with their eagerness. The transition can't be as bad as people say....right? I am so going to think positive. A friend said it will all be settled in a couple of weeks after the newness of their new digs wears off. That sounds logical to me. They have been driving me crazy anyway with wanting to go in and out of the crib. They can't make up their mind. In, then out, then in again.

Sometimes I just wish the world was more peaceful. Everywhere you turn there seems to be heartache. Our country is at war, children are starving and being abused, a couple in our small group just seperated, the list could go on and on.....God, please come in and fix this mess - okay? I invite you in not only to my life but into everyone else's. They don't know they need you but they desperately do. Deliver us from evil, Lord. We need LOVE. Pure, unselfish love. I thank God for my children. I find peace in their snuggles and their smell. Their laughter and their play. Their curiousity and their openess. And the children shall lead us....
