Today I

Today I:
  • Got called by the Principal's office
  • Took Kyrie to Culver's alone for dinner (This never happens.  I rarely go anywhere alone with a child.  Usually a total privelege.  Today, it means trouble.)
  • Got peed on by a three-year old
A banner day in the Kons house.

Update (a few days later):  After having some time to think about the occurences of this day, while at the time they seemed kind of bad, in hindsight I feel like I may have taken the wrong perspective.  Maybe the story of this day will magically appear here at some point, but for now I will just say that while Kyrie got into some trouble today, it turns out that I feel slightly proud of her, a bit miffed, somewhat wronged, and generally okay with it all.  My new perspective is that if this is the worst thing she ever does, I will be a very lucky Mom.  Let us hope and pray!

Lots of Gods

While playing Legos together.

Declan: Mommy are there lots of Gods?
Me: No, just one.
Declan: But there are lots of hearts.
Me: ...Oh!...Yes...  (When our kids have asked us where God is, we always say, "In our hearts."  Thus, this new dilemma!)  ...Umm...But, God is in many hearts all at the same time.
Declan:  There's only one Luke Skywalker... (and I lost him to his Legos).

I love how hard their little brains are working at this age to make sense of a world that, plain and simple, just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
