Did a little devotion on Forgiveness with Luke and Taylor before nap and it soooooo showed how very different they are.

Question: Have you ever done anything that you knew was wrong?
Luke: Yeaaaaaaa....
Me: What have you done that you knew was wrong?
Luke: Well, {sigh} sometimes I hit sissy and sometimes I pester her and sometimes I throw a fit. It's not good.
Me: What about you Taylor, have you ever done anything that you knew was wrong?
Taylor: Nope.
Me: You've never done anything wrong?
Taylor: Nope.

Then we read the story of the podigal son. (Luke 15:11-24) And read a story about a boy who broke a lamp by throwing a ball inside the house even though he knew he was breaking a rule.

We talked about how God is like the father who forgives us when we ask. And how we also should forgive others because God forgave us. And how there are consequences for our actions even though God forgives us when we ask.

Then I asked again:
Have you ever done something wrong, Taylor?
Taylor: {looks down} Yeah, sometimes I'm wrong for not listening and obeying my parents.
Me: What do you get in trouble for a lot Luke?
Luke: Ummm....prolly, hitting Taylor.
Me: Let's pray and ask God to help us with those thing.
Taylor: Yeah...that would be a good idea. :)
Luke: Yeah...don't ya think, Mom?
{so we prayed} <3 these two stinkers.

Taylor: Mommy, Luke is talking like a baby. What am I gonna do with him? {she sighs}

Miss Taylor went a whole day in big girl panties with no accidents. YAY! :) (hello kitty and princesses) Luke had less then yesterday, but he unfortunately likes changing into new undies. (He's all about his sports ones and thomas ones are cool but not as cool)

Luke: Sure Taylor. Thank you for asking.

{first day in big girl panties, Taylor comes back from the peeing in the potty}
Taylor: {whining} Mommy, Luke didn't say "Good job." to me.

------------------------------------

{Kids were eating watermelon for dessert after lunch and because Taylor takes forever to eat, Luke was done with 3 slices and Taylor was just getting hers}
Luke: Taylor, can you please gimme a bite?
Taylor: Okay, here you go Luke.
Luke: Oh Thank you. Mommy, Taylor shared her watermelon with me!!! {big cheese}
Me: Aww you're such a nice sister Taylor.
Taylor: I love my brother. :)

Taylor: Hey Luke, can you come here and move the couch for me. I wanna sit down and read a book. {she was talking about their little couch}
Luke: Okay, Taylor, I'll help you.

{Kids were taking a bath tonight and they were pouring water back and forth in cups}
Luke: I'm getting you and your camels water.
Taylor: Oh, Thank you Luke!
Luke: Camels drink LOTS of water, don't they?
Me: Who are you pretending to be Luke?
Luke: Rebecca.
{Genesis 24:18-20}

----------------------------------

Taylor: Luke could you please help me carry this?
{Luke was already carrying a snack cup, milk and his lambie}
Luke: I'm sorry Sissy, I don't have enough hands.
Taylor: Oh goodness.

----------------------------------

Yesterday, Luke kept singing " I will follow" by chris tomlin among bits and pieces of other worship songs that he's picking up like crazy and he kept saying "I'm a servant of the Lord!" I'm not sure where he got that from but he's serious about it. :) ♥

Luke: That's a big tree. Zacchaeus is in there. Jesus said...get down from that tree, cause I'm coming to your house today!

{After Luke got in trouble for not sharing, when he was done sitting he walks up to me}
Luke: I was wrong for not sharing with sissy. I need to obey my parents cause it pleases the Lord. {wow, he gets it??}

Me: Taylor, you have a fuzzy on your belly.
Taylor: Oh Yea, that's from Esau. He's REALLY fuzzy!
{Genesis 25:25}

Luke: I do NOT wanna go to the doctor. {takes his shoes off and puts them back}
Me: You HAVE to go to the doctor. {puts his shoes back on}
Luke: My ear doesn't hurt anymore.
Me: We still have to go.
{Luke was clinging on to me in the waiting room, refused to get weighed, started flipping out when I tried getting his clothes off, screaming, kicking, about ripping his shirt trying to keep it on, I don't want my clothes off!!!!!!!!!!...then the new doctor comes in, looks at his ears, listens to his chest, things look and sound good so he thinks he's just having sinus pressure/headache, doctor leaves}
Luke: That wasn't doctor Zelis.
Me: Nope. He isn't here.
Luke: Who's that guy? What's his name? What's his middle name?
Me: So that wasn't so bad was it?
Luke: No, cuz he didn't put that thing in my mouth. {pointing to tongue depressors}
Me: He didn't have to this time. Is that why you were flipping out?
Luke: I DON'T LIKE WHEN THEY DO THAT! Can I get a sticker and special treat now? {ALL SMILES, skipping out of the exam room}

WOW, REALLY??????
