Memory Verse Ephesians 4:2
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."
Husband Encouragement
* help with the bathroom as much as I can - I can tell he likes when we work together.* find some time during these next days off for our family to RELAX. With all these renovations, it's been BUSY.
Train Them Up
* got some fun activity ideas this week
* talk to them in a calm voice
* keep them structured, especially with our house a little bit out of sorts and more cramped (the playroom is in the living room right now while we close up the wall to the bathroom)
* get on the floor and PLAY with them. Train tracks, Legos, whatever. And READ to them more! I find myself groaning when they ask me to read a book to them. Why do I do that?? I remember when I couldn't wait for this stage!

We just did your memory verse last week. Love it! The boys memorized "Be completely gentle" and I've been reminding all of us of it. Gentle touch, gentle voice, and for me - gentle thoughts.
I love reading your Monday Meanderings. I haven't been joining in since it's summer and my husband is out of town. But I'm still stopping by to read yours! Will start back in August!
