They've figured out that they can underhanded-compliment, and leave their sister bewildered. They've found out that just plain insults can be more effective than a slugging ever was. I realize now that I wasn't looking forward to this stage, though I never really thought about it specifically. It's a tricky road to navigate. I pray we come out of it relatively unscathed.
Today's Peak: Today was wonderful. I don't think I can pick a peak. I found this little guy:
at my local Barnes and Noble. I love him! He's so cute he makes me smile every time I see him. Then, I completed this project for the first time:
That is an old t-shirt stretched over a canvas-stretcher frame (that's what they're called, canvas-stretcher strips). I have frames to make more for Christmas gifts for my girls. I have to find a suitable shirt for A and then I can complete them tonight I hope. Plus, I got a TON of Christmas shopping and wrapping done today. Today was it's own peak.
Today's Pit: I didn't have a lot of bad stuff happen today. I didn't recognize the little guy I babysit when he came out of his classroom when I picked him up today. Whoops. In my defense, he had on a new coat and a hat pulled way down. *Sheepish grin*
Today's Prayer: The mom of a friend of mine is battling cancer right now and they're having a bit of trouble with her insurance company. Another friend's son is reacting to some medicine he's on, and the reactions he's having are in the 'rare/deadly' range. Sanity and peace and repentance during the holidays, that we might be ready to meet the Messiah.
Today's Praise: Thank the Lord for days like this. For days when I feel like I'm taking good care of my family. For days when my patience abounds and so much gets done. Praise God that these types of days exist.
