big kids  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Yesterday I had some time to kill before picking V up from preschool, so Kate and I stopped in at a park to play for a while. There were two school buses there, and the playground was packed with elementary kids. We headed in anyway, and Kate really held her own. She played right alongside them, taking turns on the slide with them, climbing the stairs with them, completely unaware that they were giants compared to her.

Can you find the little one in the green dress?
She decided she wanted to get in this car and so of course walked right up to it, seeing if there was a way she could fit in. They wouldn't let her in, though, so she found her way to the swings instead.
She's going to be one of those big kids one day!
While we were there I observed the children...how they played, their conversations, their interactions...very scary to think about letting Vivian and Kate out on their own to choose their own actions without me being there to control everything ahhh! It sounds crazy that I would even admit that but I can't be the only mom who has had that thought...constantly praying for growing trust in God's faithfulness in molding our daughters as He plans!

I have the same sort of thoughts...all we can do is pray for our little ones and trust that God is working in their lives all ready. They are in your home for a reason!

i almost stopped that same day! but the bus scared me off, you are brave : ) i have the same thoughts. i don't think we can pray enough for our children to grow and walk with Christ.
