WORMS!

Zoë LOVES being outside. She is not afraid of any bug, but she does not enjoy getting really dirty. She surprised me though when we came outside and I moved Hunter's water dish and there were a whole bunch of worms. She decided to "save" the worms and picked them up by the hand full and threw them into the soil. I have to laugh. I was grossed out, but she LOVED it! :-)

Toilet Trouble

So, Zoë LOVES helping me around the house with cleaning. She is actually quite a big help. She puts her clothes away, is learning to fold clothes and LOVES to help "sweep and dust". It has been fun allowing her to help out. Well, as we finished putting laundry away together and cleaning the kitchen, we headed to the bathroom to do a little light cleaning. (I was just washing down the mirrors and wiping up the sink area quickly.) Zoë was pretending to wipe up the cupboards and then I heard her say, "yucky, hands dirty!" I turned quickly and much to my HORROR I saw her dip both of her hands into the toilet and begin to "wash" her hands. I FREAKED! I grabbed her quickly and helped her wash her hands in the sink, trying to tell her why we do not wash our hands in the toilet and that it was not a clean thing to do. Poor peanut cried and cried because she thought her hands would stay dirty. I held her and smiled at her innocence. I was also wondering how many times she might have done this without my knowledge. LOL.

World On Fire

Zoë's Sunday School First

So, Zoë has moved into the 2 year old sunday school class. :-) Today was here first day even though her birthday is next week. It was PRECIOUS! She is a hoot! She walked right in and said, " Bye, mommy, see you later!" and went to take a seat by some other kids. She then told the teacher, " I am hungry!" (SHE HAD JUST ATE!! LOL) I guess she knows that there are crackers for snacks and/or I don't feed her enough breakfast, LOL. When I came to pick her up she had a picture that she had made. I was surprised to see how much she had learned in one class. She had made a picture of the moon and the stars and there was a verse from Genesis attached to her picture. She proceeded to tell me that Jesus had made the world, the sun and the moon. I could have cried. My precious baby is beginning to form her foundation of faith. Thank you to ALL of you who volunteer your time/energy/money etc. in being a teacher, a leader, a mentor etc. in the church. You ARE needed and valued. Praise the Lord that people use their spiritual gifts to impact the lives of children, teens, young adults, adults and seniors... for Christ and His kingdom. I am so GRATEFUL and am seeing part of the impact in my daughter's life! Thank you!!
