Hey all, pray your day is bright & wonderful! Mine is going good, I have gotten some much needed cleaning done! I was able to sweep & mop Avery's bedroom floor because his toys were not in there so I definitely took advantage of getting his floor cleaned... Also this morning first thing Avery said is "is it Saturday yet?" I said "no..." He said "oh so I don't get my toys today?" I said "no not until Saturday which is in 2 days..." His reply "oh that's too long..." I replied with "well maybe next time you will pick up your toys when asked or will we need to go through this again..." His reply "oh mommy it seems like it's been forever since I've had my toys. I won't be leaving any toys on the floor again.." My reply "well I hope you have learned your lesson & that you will know that what I say I will do & stick to it..." His reply " I get it... I believe you... I don't want to be bored, I will pick up my toys..." I couldn't help but chuckle in my head... I am gonna make a respectful young lad out of him, with God's help that is....

Avery just had the cutest conversation with his cat "Buddy"... He was holding Buddy telling him "when mommy asks you to pick up your toys because if you don't you will be bored like me... And you will have nothing to play with. So make sure you listen to mommy because she said she would take away my toys if I didn't pick them up. And I didn't pick them up... Boy am I sad Buddy, I have no toys right now...." I was in my room when he was having this conversation with his cat... I laughed when I heard this... How could you not? I'm still wondering if I will ever have to do this again or did he truly learn his lesson? I guess we will find out.....

 We just finished dinner & Avery said he wanted to say the prayer... Here's his prayer.... "Dear Lord, thank you for this food. In Jesus name Amen." Then he says "Can I eat?" Lol... I complimented him for saying grace... Then I asked him if it would be okay to thank God for more than just the food next time? His reply okay mommy, I was just so hungry & I wanted to eat my food." Gotta love you kids & what they come up with!!! At least he's learning how to say grace before he eats....

 Well we just brushed our teeth, no problem with it tonight! He is excited about getting some bubble gum toothpaste on payday! I brushed my teeth & he brushed his with a lil bit of help. Gonna transition him for bed then it's me time!!!!

I'm gonna go spend some time with my best friend (God). Gnite, sweet dreams, & God bless you & yours... Where do I go when I feel sad, emotional, lonely, discouraged, thankful, happy, & maybe I just want to have a conversation with my best friend. He has never failed me, betrayed me, &/or left me.... Matter of fact He sent His Only son to die for me... Yep He's my best friend!!!! TTYTM......
