Tonight we were praying with Landry as usual. Chuck was so eloquently praying when he said, “And we pray for Mommy & Data You give them wisdom…” (He meant to say “we pray for mommy & daddy that You would give them wisdom…”) Landry caught the word merge right away & started cracking up. But what was even funnier was that he began to imitate Chuck over & over saying, “Mommy & Data…” with a silly voice and a goofy look on his face. He must have repeated it about 20 times & each time he said it, it was funnier & funnier! We were all belly-aching & it was so much fun!! Good times!! (I know this probably doesn’t seem as funny to those who are reading this post, but believe me, it was hilarious!!)

So glad you can belly laugh with your kids. In the midst of our parenting we can get so serious trying to keep our children safe, out of trouble, and guided on the right path that we miss the real beauty and joy of family as God intended it. Those times help buffer the tough ones and are reminders to them that they are loved even when they are being disciplined. It also helps parents feel less stressed. I’m thankful you can enjoy the journey of parenting! You two are examples of how to do it right!
