Quote of the Moment

This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see." Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place

A Special Day

Yesterday as we were coming home from church I told Samuel that we would eat lunch and then take a little nap.  We had been out late the night before attending the baseball game so we were all quite tired.  Samuel was all for the idea of lunch and a nap.  He asked if he could snuggle with his sweater vest that he had worn to church.  David explained to him that we don't snuggle with our sweater vests and here is how the discussion ended:

Samuel:  But I'm having a special day.
Me: You are?  What makes it special?
Samuel:  Well, I get to snuggle with my vest.

Oh, what a way to get what you want!  No crying, no whining, no yelling.  Just selling the idea that it's a special day and then when asked why its special just state that it is special because you get to do what you want.  Such a smarty pants!
