Please Help Me...

I just had to quickly write this down so I don't forget. My kids are probably like yours and say the funniest things sometimes. They do silly things too that have us rolling in laughter. Well if you know my little Carson, he is the dramatic one in our family. He can crack us up with his cute humor and have us pulling out hair out with his dramatic behaviour. All in all though he is a great kid and we LOVE him. He is in kindergarten this year, the very youngest in his class. He just turned 5 at the end of December and most of the other kids are 6. Needless to say he is going to kindergarten again next year, but we planned it that way so no one is disappointed about it. So you can see that his maturity level isn't where the other kids is. So naturally he still acts like the youngest. The other day I guess he was acting up when they were getting in line to go to gym. His teacher, who is so great with him, told him that he had to sit on the time out chair for a minute. She continued to take the other kids down to the gym while he thought about what he had done. When she came back to get him she saw him sitting on the chair with her arms folded, head bowed and he said, "Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to be a good boy in school." She had to quietly walk out of the room and compose her self. She said it was the cutest thing she has ever seen.

So I guess all of the countless prayers when he as acting up, not folding his arms, eyes open don't really matter because when it really comes down to it, he gets it! He understands what we do and what we say when speaking to our Father in Heaven. He knows that He will help him no matter what the problem. It touched my heart to know that YES some things are sinking in his little brain even if I don't see it at home.
