The boys

Just two quick snippets on my favorite topics…the boys-

– Colter wore this outfit this weekend. He can’t crawl, still eats baby food and doesn’t know any real words yet. However, he is wearing clothes that his brother donned at around 17 months. Have I mentioned that they currently wear the same size of diapers? We’ve found him the last couple of mornings STANDING in his bed when we go in to get him. He’s growing up so fast. MAKE IT STOP!

– Our church does a special collection each year that all of the children participate in by filling banks with coins to bring to the service. This is KJ’s first year to participate. This kid LOVES money (of course this is just because it makes noise and is fun to collect, not because he is greedy). So I know we are going to have to do a lot of preparation for the day when he takes his bank full and gives it away. We’ve been talking about ways for him to “earn” his pennies. He gets a few when he has a great attitude or helps us around the house. Every time he makes a deposit we talk about what the money will be used to do “It’s for people who don’t know Jesus or who don’t have anything to eat or who are sick”. A few minutes ago he wanted his treasures OUT of his bank so I went through this explanation again. He responded “I get sick”. Good thing we still have more than a month to work on this concept- we’re going to need it.
