Catchin' Some zzzz's: OUR SWEET, 'ANGELIC' CHILD

I have a few stories about this sweet 'angel' of ours. Ones that I am scared I am going to forget. I know that there are many more...but these are ones that I have not yet forgotten.

When Breanna was 3.5, she had taken a marker and preceeded to colour on her arms, face and clothes! I was trying to not laugh...but also tried to think of a way to teach her not to colour on her clothes!! So I brought her downstairs to the laundry area and gave her the clothes, I put some soap on it and gave her a brush to try and clean them.... Well...after a minute, she said to me...."Mommy.....why are you treating me like Cinderella?" I suppose it's worked because she has never done that since! Too funny!

This picture is when she was around 3.5 playing dress-up in her Cinderella dress.

This was her bedroom....
The kids were in bed....so we thought....and Bryan and I were outside doing some work in the front....when all of a sudden, I realize that her blinds are open and Breanna's not sleeping! So I went back in the house, sat on the chair with Breanna (she was around 3.5) and reminded her that we are not allowed to touch the roll down blinds because they were very expensive and we did not want to buy new ones. I then asked her what we should do to make sure that she does not do that again. So she sat sitting on my lap thinking. She then proceeded to tell me that she should "pray about it". I then had to keep a straight face, while she prayed..."Dear Lord....please help Satan to never make me touch my blinds again...we know that they are very expensive...." I tucked her back into bed and couldn't get outside quick enough to tell Bryan! Too cute!!!

Another funny thing, that just has happened recently. Every week for school, she learns a new Bible verse. I often wonder how much she actually retains. Does she remember them after that week?

Well..... there is a new boy in school and he seems to be acting like a 'little bully'. He often acts mean to everyone...not sure what the issue is....but anyways....I had a talk with Breanna and said that "he may be having a hard time adjusting to a new school, and is scared". I then said "even though he may be mean to you, you shouldn't be mean to him". Breanna's comment...."I know, I know...you shouldn't repay evil with evil".

Another "angelic" moment happened this past week. I was asking Breanna to help me clean up the toys and she said "sure mom....I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"! Bryan and I are wondering who's child she actually is! :)

This is a picture taken a couple Sunday's ago. She had her face painted at the church picnic.
