Sad Dream

I was out watching TV late tonight when Trajen came walking out. Told me he had a dream. Not a scary one, a sad one. Tavin had fallen out of a tree and knocked all his teeth out. He said it was a lot of teeth. (I imagine him laying there with 200 teeth surrounding him). He was so sincerely sad about it, it was precious. I reassured him Tavin was okay and it was only a dream. I held him on the couch like I did when he was a baby and it brought back those memories. I love my boy so much. It's beyond comprehension how much I love him. We got a drink and helped each other find our way back to bed in the dark. (He and tav are sleeping with me while jer is away.) We laid down and he said "hold hands?" I said "of course." We held hands (across Tavin in the middle) and he fell asleep. 

Prayers

Each time my children say a prayer I wish I could have it recorded. They are so sweet and I want to be able to listen to them forever.

Tonight I had already put Tenley in her bed, then remembered to say a prayer with her. She laid there on her "mankie" folding her arms and squinting her eyes. She is always so good to be reverent through a whole prayer. She's been participating with us in prayer for quite some time. I love it. 

Tavin has been saying the sweetest prayers this past year. He will volunteer to say the prayer each time with excitement.  He always talks in a quiet voice, squinting his eyes and squeezing his body with his arms. His prayers are just the best. 

And then there's Trajen who doesn't like to volunteer for prayer and sometimes needs to be prodded. He usually just talks about all the fun stuff he wants to do the next day. But sometimes he will give the sweetest, most thoughtful prayer that brings a tear to my eye. 

Once in a while prayer time is pull my hair out time and sometimes we just skip it all together. But it is usually a special time and I love getting to listen to my little one's thoughts. 

Cousin Cabin Trip

Tonight the boys left with granny and gramps for two nights up to the cabin at Panguitch Lake. They were so excited. They can't wait to go fishing and catch horny toads. Trajen said it was going to be the best day of his life, then added "well Legoland was the best day if my life, but this is going to be the second best day!" When I hugged and kissed Tavin's chubby cheeks goodbye I said I'll see you in two nights. He replied "I'll see you in five nights!!!" Emmitt is going along, too. The rules are no parents and all cousins as long as they are potty trained!! I can't wait to hear all about it...

So since Jerron is still in Colorado, that leaves me and Tenley Jane to hold down the fort. We went over to Angie's to have dinner and play with Aspen. They are pretty good friends. They like to play, dance, and bug each other. 

I'm looking forward to the one on one time with my baby girl. I get to see what it's like to have just one kid again. Also excited to get things done and the house cleaned. Very nice of G and G to take them!
