The summer is quickly coming to an end and I am getting the bug to be back in my classroom. The downside to that is I have to be away from the girls, but, we have had such a sweet time together this summer. Both girls have grown and changed in such a small amount of time.
Blaire seems to have gone from a toddler to a little girl in a matter of weeks. She is talking more "grown-up" and her imagination is running all the time. We have yet to claim potty training as accomplished, but I hope that is just around the corner. I have discovered through this process what a head strong little girl I have on my hands. While I know that this trait is a tough one to parent, I know that if she is molded and groomed in the right way she has the potential to be a great leader. I pray that this is true.
We have had a few moments in the past few weeks that have tested both of us; Mommy's patience and Blaire's understanding of choices and consequences. I am trying to teach her through her poor choices that God's sin covers our own and that we are forgiven through Him. Of course in much simpler terms. Her current understanding of Jesus is that "Jesus lives in Kansas!". Which is so true. Now my job is to make that more personal!
Presleigh began the summer as a 3 month old and has just turned 5 months. She is now rolling over, eating a little bit of cereal and communicating in such sweet terms. I have started working with her on baby sign since she has started eating some solids. I know it is early but it was such a great experience that we had with Blaire that I hope I can also have with Presleigh. Of course she has not quit smiling and laughing!
Both girls are such blessings in my life and I continue to pray that the Lord will work through me to mold these girls into wonderful women of God! What an important and wonderful task I have at hand.
