Why oh why must they grow up so fast? •April 2013• don’t let busyness overtake your life. Slow down, create intentional space, and soak up the treasured moments -> those moments will mean the most to their hearts in the big picture! & can we get some for Springtime on the prairie?!! ☀️🙌🏼

through the eyes of a 4yr old 💕
—> edited: LoL my hubs informed me that not everyone sees this art in the same form as I did. SO! **The top knot is actually my pony tail (that I most often sport around here!)** and the larger oblong shape is my face. Her art skills will continue to progress over the next year to begin adding another circle for a body and more limbs but all kiddos start with the face first! It was incredibly sweet to see her add my hair as a knot. 😁 the lines below are my body/legs.

••we made the most of our cloudy/rainy day 💕•• & talked about God being the illustrator & author of it all!! We r having fun watching the news!!!
--> and they just told the TV anchor that when the cloud cover cleared for a short bit in Carbondale, IL & we believe that if they had given God the Glory in that moment on national television that he would've kept the cloud cover away for them! 😉

Kiddos are capable of gReaT tHiNgs! That being said, they do still have to make their way through these developmental stages, with appropriate solutions & strategies. 🌟Equip them for greatness, understanding where each child is at & where that next step can be🌀

Many of kids' so-called "bad" behaviors are actually normal developmental acts of growing up.
