the train!

but first, nate wanted to say hello to his uncle marc

waiting ever so patiently...

tada! FINALLY! as promised for being potty trained, then forgotten, then he had some behavior issues to work thought....i think he's ready to be rewarded for his massive improvements in his behavior....with the train!

helping daddy put it together. we are nailing it down so the tracks will not move...but the table is to small, so chris has to build a new one...but we decided to start putting it together tonight

that's what's done so far....

i have not posted much about it but i have been going through the ringer with nate and his behavior. it has been the hardest 4+ weeks of my life. i never thought a 3 yr old could have me curled up in a fetal position, sobbing on the bed...

but with some correction, prayers and many lessons learnt, i can start to see the end.....

so he can get the train now :)

my blog is being silly today. it won't let me stream the video from you tube, so clicky on the linky and enjoy the show

chris sent this to me last night. the church that made this video is in the states, it's willie george's...who is the nephew of the pastor of our last church (in sasky)...

after viewing this video, chris looked at me and said "this is the kind of caliber that our church is capable of" meaning. imagine what could happen, if people who are sold out to christ, come together and use their gifts for HIS glory! imagine! i can...i see a private church school (NOT a christian school...a church school...there is a diff) ....the best in canada, a preschool, a gym, a music department that teaches singing, writing, playing instruments etc...that our community will PAY THEM to teach them how to sing, play etc... a children's ministry where kids worship, hand up, tears, teens that live in the spirit, a drama, media department that excels....

i dream big

tears!

why so glum my chum?

back story- my parents gave nate a piggy bank. he brought it home and put his money in it. i told him to not play with it, that it's glass, it will break. it's not a toy. i told him this...many...many...many times....

yesterday morning, nate brought the bank down stairs to show me his money. i told him to not play with it and put it here it belongs. on the shelf in his room

really, who wants to obey?

nate insisted on shaking it. playing with it and showing me his money

i was making supper last night and CRASH!!!

yep. you bet. all over the floor. he was SO upset. nate learnt a lesson!

another story

see all that change on the floor?

well a few days ago i noticed money missing. just a quarter here, a dime there...my pocket change dish was empty, chris's change pile was gone...nate was taking all the money he could find to put it in his piggy bank! he actually found a quarter and a nickle on the ground and put it in his pocket to take home...ha

he had over 10 bucks in that bank! my little thief!

so after many tears. chris and i sat him down and explained to him the importance of obeying mom and dad. he learnt the hard way i am afraid!

it pays to obey!
