Three Years Ago Today

Wow, it's been a while! Well, today is my now, three year olds birthday! It's finally here. Not that I was wanting it to get here fast, but actually thankful that it's gone by what seems to feel like, slowly. She's actually 3 going on 13. She's quite the ham, but also has a very shy side. And when she wants to, she can wrap you around her finger in a matter of seconds. She's a charmer, just like her Daddy ;o). Even though she can be sweet, she also can get an attitude that is nothing shy of ugly. I hope, and pray that I can consistently and effectively harness that attitude. There are some goods things intertwined in there - she recognizes her boundaries and her space. Now, I just need to teach, and learn myself, how to appropriately express those boundaries without being cold, rude or mean. Praise God his mercies are new every day!! And despite my faults, God still uses me to plant healthy seeds in my children.

Happy Birthday Clara Jean!! Mommy loves you!!!
