Seth has two new words.. Spikin' and Turbo. These will be used at every possible opportunity. They apparently mean awesome and extremely, respectively. A few minutes ago I caught him washing his hands with five pumps of soap (we have a one pump rule). When I chastized him, his response was, "But Mom, I was TURBO dirty!"
Saturday we attended the local Fall Festival. If you haven't gotten photos yet, you will soon. There Seth met a girl who used to be in his class at school, but has since had dramatic health problems and become confined to a wheel chair, where she is tube fed and unable to speak. When Seth spoke to her, she became visibly very excited to see him. Meeting her has apparently had a profound impact on Seth and remains in the back of his thoughts at all times. He often asks me if I think God will heal her and what he can do to help her. I assured him that nothing is impossible with God and told him that the best thing he can do is to pray for her and her family. Her name is Piper by the way.
Sunday morning, I was scheduled to work in the infants room at our church during worship hour. We were 15 minutes late arriving and I first had to drop off the boys in their classrooms. Daniel showed his usual display of heart-wrenching separation anxiety, then it was upstairs to Seth's class, where we waited in line for our turn to check in. While we waited, Seth worried out loud about his friend Piper's lips, and how chapped and cracked they were. When we finally reached the front of the line, he looked up at me asked, "Mom, do you think we could pray her right now?" So there we knelt, in the middle of Tiny Town, to pray for Piper. Nothing else was more important in that moment. I have no doubt that Christ lives in that little boy's heart.
Daniel's favorite word lately is "Uh-oh!" Needless to say, he makes a lot of uh-ohs around our house. He and Seth are taking an interest in the same TV shows, which is convenient.. usually those with music. Dan loves nothing more than to shake his little rump to a good beat. Seth loves the Saturday morning show on DayStar called GodRocks. It has taught him some powerful scripture through rock music, and he performs them any chance he gets. If you haven't already, be sure to check out "Seth Jammin" on YouTube.
Daniel started swimming lessons this week. Lets just say it was less than smooth sailing. If we don't have a better time next week, we'll put the whole thing off for a few months, till this stranger anxiety phase passes.
