"I'll pray for you"


When I was picking up Thomas from preschool last Wednesday, the preschool teacher explained that Thomas had cut his finger on the fan. The two teachers had told the class to not go near the fan because it was sharp, but Thomas kept going near it. Finally, Thomas made a bold dash to the fan and stuck his finger in. The teacher told me that Thomas was just one of those kids who learned by doing. She then said that she would pray for me. Thank you I mumbled.

In another Thomas incident. He told his primary teacher on Sunday that he had a nipple on his face. The teacher tried to explain that it was a mole and not a nipple, but obviously the spirit went right out the door.

Thomas loves dressing up especially as a pirate and making his brothers dress up too. His passion for life is contagious and he is always making me smile. But just like yesterday when he climbed a tree high enough to get my heart beating, I remembered the preschool teacher's promise. I definitely need all the prayers I can get!

I want to know who taught him about nipples anyway. I will pray for you as you have many fun years ahead of you! Make sure you have a journal, or is this it?

I find this very funny! Kenna prays for Thomas to be safe in troit. I am still laughing about the nipple.

Brittany said...

Well, if you need it, I'll pray for you too. The problem is...without Thomas and his "personality" the world wouldn't go 'round. Consider yourself lucky(:
