Proud Parenting Moment


Somehow Jason and I were suckered into teaching the 2 year old class at church. I thought that this sounded like a good idea on the phone. A nice lady from the church called and asked me if we could help and that it would be "easy." Hmmm, last week was our first Sunday to teach and let me assure you, it was NOT easy. I was so exhausted after chasing around twenty plus two year olds that I took a two hour nap along with Davis. 

This Sunday seemed a little easier (still not EASY). It is very interesting to observe these little people with budding personalities already. 

Today during snack time Davis sat next to his friend, Ellen. Ellen's mommy and daddy got suckered into teaching this class with us :) Well, during snack time we had a proud parenting moment (not). The third little girl held up her glass of water and said "Cheers!" and Davis and Ellen, without hesitation, held their glasses up and both said "Cheers!" Ellen's mommy and I were glad that we were the teachers at that moment so that no other parent could judge! I mean, I am certain that I just caught a glimpse of the three of them at a college party eighteen years from now. To make matters worse they did it again-this time MY SON is the one who started it:
 Organized chaos:
 And this is what happens when you go to Sunday School, refuse to nap, and play outside all afternoon with mommy:
Jason thinks he was just mad about the Cowboys.


In all seriousness, I am honored to teach my little man's class. He is the light of my life and I pray that somehow Jason and I can influence him to love the Lord as much as we do.

This tired mommy is off to bed :)

Updates

I thought that today would be a great day to update the blog--it hurts to move. I asked Jason to help me get back in shape (BIG MISTAKE). Yesterday at 4:30 in the morning I was on a random football field doing bootcamp. Today it hurts to move. 

We learned the Studio Movie Grill does a $2 movie on Saturdays geared towards kids. So we took Davis to see his new obsession Thomas the Train. After a lemonade and half a bucket of popcorn we went from this:
 to this:
 Funny thing was Jason and I didn't feel like we could get up and walk out without causing a scene. So we had to stick it out to the very end!

From the movie we headed to Victoria to celebrate my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's engagement. Lacey grew up in Victoria with horses. Davis LOVED Lacey's house:

 This is how we spend a lot of time in Davis' room:
 Nana might be a little guilty of spoiling Davis. I walked in one Saturday morning to find Elmo playing and Davis' table and chair facing it with homemade waffles. Poor guy is in for a rude awakening when we get into our new house!
 Although, I guess I am just as guilty of spoiling my baby....
I am off to take a hot bath and down some advil....
