So I have been told I need to blog. Here it is. Since the focus of my life right now is my family, getting them ready for the "wide wide world" (can you name that book?) before they just go roly-poly, pell-mell, tumble-bumble into it, I will probably write most often about Daniel (3) and Amani (2). They are my greatest joy, most difficult challenge, and most profound responsibility on this earth. Dominic and I are determined to bring them up to be Godly adults who value Jesus first and all else after that. So I will start with a "joy" story.
The other night I was telling Daniel a bedtime story about some animal (can't remember what) and he ALWAYS has to know the animal's name. Well, I gave it a name and he of course changed the name (those first borns can be so controlling). He said, "No, Geedee." So I repeated it "Geedee?" And aparently I didn't "pronounce" it correctly because he said back emphatically, "No GEEDEE - O D I - GeeDee!" It was all I could do not to laugh. I guess sending him to preschool at 3 1/2 was a good idea. He gets the concept that letters make up words. Daniel loves to tell his own stories, as well as turning mine into his b/c he likes his ideas better! Maybe someday Uncle Gary can help him get his stories published.
