Just another day in paradise.

Thanks for the private emails about Carson's behavior at times.  He is gluten free, no color dye and very little sugar in his diet. Please do not get me wrong he is a very nice boy but has a little bite to him at times.   Today he had a horse back riding lesson (which he loves).  When he was done riding he told the  horse  " I am sure Santa will bring you presents because you were good to me today."  As we walked back to the car I replied, 'Santa, hmmm.'  Carson quickly answered, " yes I will buy him two bags of apples."

Mean streak

Carson can be a sweet, loving, kind little boy.  But he has a mean streak in him which we are trying to get a handle on.  He will push, hit, grab and be rough with other kids for no reason. Carson also struggles with people's space.  When we ask him why he just did blank he can not answer the question. If we ask him what he should have done he will give the right answer every time. So it's fair to say he knows right from wrong.  But why the negative behavior?  He gets plenty of positive attention.  He gets a ton of love and affection from us.  We give him praise when he does well. So what the heck?  We pray about this unwanted behavior.  I asked the principal
 if he thought Carson was a bully and he said no as it's not all the time and all the kids love him.  So what is it?

While I was giving Carson a bath tonight he said, mommy, I know you play Santa at Christmas.  I just looked at him.  He replied,  there is no way Santa can pass out all those presents in a short amount of time.  Do the math mommy.  

This why I continue to be nice to certain people...

God says in Luke 6:27.  But to you who are listening I say: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.

Carson told me today that we will never see the date 11/12/13 again.  Then he said, wait we will never see yesterday again either.  He takes a long pause....and replies, I need to think about this.

woohoo!   Carson is in a 11 1/2 shoe, 5 slim pants and size 6 shirt.  He has grown!

It's that time of year again

Dark by 5pm.   Ugh!

Have you ever heard the saying....everything is for sale if the price is right?    Well, I have some big decisions to make.  Praying for God's direction.
