Lord, thank you, for giving us a clean slate each new day. Help us to put behind us any frustrations that we are holding onto from yesterday. Help us to be patient and loving and kind with our children today, remembering our relationship with them is more important than any academic achievements they might accomplish.
With the time change Liana is getting up early and she ran to our room to be with us while we watched GMA and drank our coffee. I do believe she would stay here all day if we let her. She's our snuggle bunny and feels deprived if she doesn't get her cuddle time. And how her day starts will greatly influence our school time together.
Later we had barely settled into devotions when Arielle bumped Liana's head with her book. Liana was in tears and focused on that injustice for several minutes before we could move on. Our first school subject is always Liana's reading aloud to me. She sometimes struggles with reading and I have to catch her fresh. She has discovered Little Bear and wants to solely read that series. Today I talked her into Mouse Soup and she reluctantly admitted she enjoyed it.
What's cooking tonight...
