Getting to the Heart...

This is one of those moments that keep you persevering as a parent...

A couple of weeks ago I had gotten really frustrated with Jake and his attitude. My first reaction was to want to make him feel horrible for it. However, knowing that if I take the time to talk to him about his attitude it could help in the long-term of wanting to have a better attitude not just to stay out of trouble.

After Jake got out of the shower he said that he had something to show me in the bathroom. He wrote with Kacie's bath crayon's on the tile, "I love mom!" "I am so sorry for being selfish."

I thank God for moments like these because in our home they are few and far between. But I see them as a gift because they help me to keep plodding along!
