This will be a simple post because my jaw is still on the floor from being snapped into gear by my friend Jamie plus…. I have a date with some sunshine and diet green tea.

This is Jamie… she looks sweet and gentle doesn’t she? Don’t let her fool you! She can give you a swift kick in the arse when you need it… and make you think you could pull off bangs like she can (trust me, you can’t).  

She watched me feed Bud lunch and I’m entering into the discipline/teaching stage with him (SO FUN….if today were opposite day). He kept whining for his food while I was fixing it and I’m a big believer in explaining my expectations to him and speaking peace over him in those times so I told him, “Bud, we want to walk in a spirit of patience so lets try that ok?”

Fast forward 10 minutes…We were sitting in my backyard today and we were talking about how Bud isn’t crawling or walking yet and I asked her (she’s a ped nurse) if there were any good exercises I could do with him to encourage mobility. And she told me that he’d do it when he’s ready and since my eye rolls are pretty hard to ignore, she laughed and said, “What’s that you told your son earlier? Walk in a spirit of patience?”

Touche Jamie… touche. I swear having kids is like watching my sin being mirrored. We want to walk in a spirit of patience MARTHA…. lets try that ok?
