Eli has as Jordyn my little sidekick -- he has been my best work to date -- the thing the accomplishment I am most proud of and yet to give him over to someone else to teach - and care for - and to allow him to find his own way -- it is heart renching -- but we were all there -- we all had that first day of school -- that bully that we had to tell "sticks and stones..." that is what made us who we are today -- but girl this is the only verse that gives my stomach a chance to stop churning -- "train a child in the way they should go and we they get old they will not depart from it" proverbs 22:6 and just wait this is only the beginning -- when they are 16 and start to drive - or date or 18 and go off to college -- we will look back at these daze and say this too shall pass!!! I will be praying for you -- pray for me!!! I think we all need a hug -- at least we made this far :wink: My eyes water — and my stomach gets in knots — and God gives us these babies to teach them and train them to go into the world and make a difference but that sending out part is not the easiest thought to stomach — we up to this point have been their everything — the one who changes and burps — who cleans up after and reads to them — we know all the stories and we make up the ones we don’t — we are their best friends as well as their playmates — and all that will start to change — we will go from telling the stories to listening to the stories — from being their best friends to “oh mom …not again!” Eli has as Jordyn my little sidekick — he has been my best work to date — the thing the accomplishment I am most proud of and yet to give him over to someone else to teach - and care for - and to allow him to find his own way — it is heart renching — but we were all there — we all had that first day of school — that bully that we had to tell “sticks and stones…” that is what made us who we are today — but girl this is the only verse that gives my stomach a chance to stop churning — “train a child in the way they should go and we they get old they will not depart from it” proverbs 22:6
