GOD!

So, I sent away for Aliyah to get children's bible lessons in the mail to see what they would be and how appropriate for her they might be. Well we got the first one last week and they are cute! First you read a story and then you take a "test". So, we read the story and it pertained to Genesis 1:1--where it explains that God made everything. After we read it, we talked about it and took the test. Well....because of that story Aliyah will say, "Mom did you know that God made trees, he loves people the most, even me!! And mom, did you know that I love him!" It melts my heart. I have always wanted Aliyah to know God at a young age, because I never got the chance to do that....so, then you send the test back and they mail you another one. It's fun because she is super excited to do it, looking forward to reading the story or going over the test questions every night. She even looked at my mom the other day and said, "You know what Memere, God loves me and I love him!" My mom asked her where she learned that, and she said, "Mom told me!" That made me feel good...I'll keep you posted on the next lesson! :)

Highs and Lows

I am going to take an idea from Christina and create my highs and lows for the week....

-A definite high for the week was bringing Aliyah to Dianes baby shower. It really makes me look forward to giving Aliyah the opportunity to be a big sister. I know that she is going to make a great one...she is very loving to babies and just wants to play with them. So, I think at the beginning I will certainly have to monitor her (because as I know from experience, when I was young, Krystal used to pick me up by my neck and try to carry me around) but she will be a great big sister.

- A low for me last week was work. We have had so many cases of possible parent neglect and it kills me to see it. It is exhausting to worry about all these little bodies, but who wouldn't worry when you see something fishy....why can't people just love their kids unconditionally and take care of them...I know that God brought these little ones to this Center so we could look after them and I thank him for that, because who knows where they would be without our help.... :(


I like this idea Christina, it really gives me the chance to take a reflectful look back on my week and make sure I find some positives in it! Great idea!

shower

so i told aliyah that we were going to go to Diane's baby shower next saturday...i explained to her what a baby shower is, that you give presents to the mommy and when she has the baby, the baby gets to have the presents....so about 3 hours went by and aliyah got up, got her purse, and said i'm ready to go the baby bath...i was very confused and had no idea what she was talking about....she said, you know your friend who is having the baby...i just about died laughing, i said, aliyah, it's a baby shower!!!!!! too funny! but an honest mistake
