Full hands...Full heart.

Kind of a silly little picture of Claire...I took it a couple of days ago to show off her little "hair do"-(do people really say that anymore?) Anyway, it was the most recent one I had of my little bear. So, anyway, she is 22 months and I can see the storm coming....the "terrible two tornado" are you familiar with that one? Ah man, I knew it would be coming but I am sad to watch the little attitude turn defiant. One day at a time. One battle at a time. One prayer at a time! This Thursday she refused to lay down at nap time. She finally gave in, after an hour and 45 min, but sadly I had to wake her up 30 min later so we could get to Grant's sports activity. And then the next day I took her (finally!) to get her hair cut. We had to wait forever for this appointment and when we got there, she wanted NOTHING to do with the chair! She said "no" about 55 times and "go" almost as much. She did want the snacks :) but absolutely no sitting in the chair-not even on my lap! Oh, I wish I had remembered the DVD player! Although, I don't know if even that would have helped!

She is still so cute, though, and always our entertainment! Tonight at dinner she was just jabbering away...really telling us all something with words that made no sense at all. Grant said something like "what is she talking about" and Gregory informed us that she was speaking Spanish :)

I heard this recently (can't remember where) and you have probably heard it too: My hands are full but so is my heart! That's exactly how I feel right at this moment. Sometimes life gets a little crazy, but my heart couldn't be more full of love, joy and even peace! haha! Just have to laugh at myself here because I didn't include all of the parts of the fruit of the spirit! I guess those are the ones I need to pray for ;)

Goodnight, and peace to you!
