Sweet little hearts

I have to give little Tru credit for doing a superb job going to nursery today. He did really well and only cried at the very end when all the parents were picking up but dad wasn’t there yet. I hope, hope, hope he continues to like it and he won’t start having withdrawls from mom/dad. He’s such a cute little bug.

This photo is just funny to me though it doesn’t really describe the rest of this post about our family. I came home from my primary meeting this afternoon to this… Boys watching Night at the Museum (super Sunday movie! NOT!), popcorn, Max with his backpack, and Tru wanting goggles on. Too funny.

What I really wanted to mention was the sweet hearts my kids had today. Children are so pure and good (a bazillion times better than I am as their rotten grouchy mother on some days!).

During Sacrament Meeting Hannah wrote down her testimony in cursive and wanted to go up to share it. She decided in the end that she was too nervous to be up in front of everyone so I told her we could have a family testimony meeting. She liked that idea.

During Sharing Time, our Primary president was doing a lesson about Jesus as our Savior… and used an example of being covered in muddy dirt… and then being washed clean with water. After, I looked over at Abe and he looked like he was going to cry. I summoned him over to me to make sure he was okay. I wondered if the boy next to him had hurt him… or if he had gotten in trouble for something. Instead, he said that he was just so happy and had tears in his eyes. Later we talked about how the Holy Ghost testified to him that what he was learning about Jesus was true. It was about the sweetest thing to see him so touched and emotional… a big change from the struggle he’s had the past month.

Later during a short FHE, we had a testimony meeting with the fam. It is so neat to hear each other say the things we know are true. Abe wanted help to feel more confident but ended up saying most of it and doing a great job. He had little tears in his eyes. Cute. Hannah had practiced hers since she had written it out. It’s so neat to see kid’s grow in their love of God. She gets extra teary when I am teary saying my testimony. Then we gave Max a turn. He just plunged right in and said, “Testimony. Jesus Died.”… and then we helped him from there. We learned today in a primary song about Jesus dying so we could live again. Even his 3-year-old heart and mind were touched in Primary. So good.

Anyhoo… just wanted to acknowledge the good things my tots are doing. So much of the day I am hounding them about all the little things they need to correct. I need to step back and see the Good they feel and do.
