Tonight the kids played so well together. I was happily surprised!
I think part of it comes from watching Supernanny. Zac didn’t want me to turn it off. So we ended up watching two hours of the show (two families). After the shows, he was implementing Jo’s techniques for working with children. He was telling Reagan “I just don’t want you to pull on my arm. That hurts me. Can you say sorry?” She would then say sorry and he said “That’s great. Now give me a hug.” It was very cute!!! He was also very helpful and agreeable to me. What a wonderful change. I think Supernanny should be on 24/7!!!
Later in the evening, they were playing hide and seek or tag or something. Zac came into the living room and hid in our blanket basket and pulled a blanket over his head to hide. Reagan went right to him and pulled on the cover saying “Oh, wow!! A gift from the Lord!” Then she broke into song: “The Lord has been good to me. So I thank the Lord for giving me the things I need. The sun and the rain and the apple seed.” It was TOO cute!!!
Those that know us know we don’t attend church. So to hear her say this was astounding. She learned it at pre-school. She goes to the New Haven United Methodist Church preschool program. Chris went there as a child as did Chris’ aunt’s Linda and Kathy.
Reagan was also explaining to me a few days ago how God made the Earth and everything in it. She explained each day he made something different and then made a lady doctor to take the baby from the other lady and then He held the baby (she did a rocking motion with her arms). I asked if she learned that at school and she said she learned it from Anna (my friend Von’s daughter). What a little minister Anna is!! It was wonderful to hear Reagan acknowledging the God I know exists. I guess this is God’s way of finally reaching me and telling me it’s TIME FOR CHURCH ALREADY!!!!!!
