Days with David

I love days with David, that are easy going,  smooth sailing, where we play inside and outside, have our long talks about little things... those are my favorite days.. and Well, If you are a mom, you know some days, you really just want to scream into a pillow after spending a few days with a very very stubborn 2 yr old. The last few days have been like that. I have been praying for patience, and peace to try not to be short with my two year old, because remember - Im the adult here, right? Dont get me wrong, I love my little guy more than words, but hes at the stage in his life where he has to talk, and talk, and talk.. usually its the same thing repeated about 500 times. Our conversations go something like this:
d-"mom. What are you doing?"
me-"David, Im cooking dinner"
d-"can I have dinner too?"
me-"Of course you can sweetie."

...runs off.. comes back with a few toys or a juice cup, or sometimes nothing..
d-"Mom. What are you doing?"
me-"Still cooking david"
d-"What are you doing now?"
this usually repeats 8 or 9 times, then I tell him as politely as possible go play in your room. (So yes, the whole scenario you see with kids bugging their parents is true.. "mom.. mom... mommy.. mommy.. mama.. mama.." "What!?" "Hi."):







But last night, as we were winding down for bed, I had one of those "smack in back of the head" moments from God. (those are my favorite moments from Him by the way - not being sarcastic.)

As I was sitting in my bed, David came in my room carrying a pile of books and climbed up on the bed - so naturally, I thought he wanted me to read him a story..
me- "Do you want me to read you a book, bud?"
d- "No mommy. You sit right here in this spot. (points at my pillow) Ill read you a book."

Now, the reason why this was a "smack in the head" moment, was because I was in awe. Not from what he said, but by how fast he is growing. It was as if God was showing me -through David - "this too shall pass". I Think God uses David to show me messages from him, because David is my son, and has a very stronghold over my heart... It was a very relaxing moment for me, and a very loving one as well. We sat in the room, and I listened as he went through and described what was going on in each picture on the pages.

I love my little stinker butt. He is truly my little blessing, and I thank God every day for him, no matter how much he drives me up the wall, because this will be over soon: sooner than I would like, and he'll grow up.With the good comes the bad, and I still praise God for it all. :)
