...That’s my definition of having a toddler in the house!
A recent conversation between Cam and his Grandpa-Linds went as follows:
Grandpa: ‘Hey Cam, what are you doing?’
Cam: ‘I’m happening!’
I guess Cam is where it’s at...!? :)
Not only has he been happening, he has been feeding Lola his crayon drawings, getting tomato sauce in his hair, climbing onto the mountain of boxes in our lounge (we move in less than a month), throwing away wads of Scott’s brand new nappies, ‘so that they don’t get full of pooh...’, doing duck and frog impersonations (with fairly realistic sound effects), and playing ‘lens lens’ with Scott (he proudly pretends to put in Scott’s ‘lenses’)... Little boys are completely exhausting and absolutely awesome! :)
Pam and Jack, Murray’s aunt and uncle, prayed over us as a family the other night. They reminded us that the Trinity was in relationship before anything was created – the implication being that a relationship is always more important than doing stuff. What a profound reminder, when I am so often tempted to pack away, rather than to play...
We’ve been aware lately of massive blessings – all we have and hold. And we’ve been conscious too of small mercies and tiny gratitudes (like good food and the wonder of a swim on a scorching day, and Scott’s little smiling murmurs, and a potty training success for Cam – a whole afternoon of dry undies!).
‘He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.’ – Isaiah 40:11
