Dare I Speculate?
One person has moved out of our house and another has moved in. We have been living with a toddler who was competing for the prize of having his picture in the dictionary under the definition of "Terrible Two's." (Adult: "Kellen, would you like a cookie?" Toddler (wailing and crying): "NOOOO! I can't have a COOOOKIE!") While we loved this toddler very much, we clung to the hope that he would not live with us forever, and last week, without notice, he moved out. Fortunately, a loving, sweet boy (Mom: "Kellen, let's put your shoes on." Kellen (smiling): "OK, Mommy.") has taken his place. While this boy does not take a nap, either, he is pleasant to have as company while his little sister sleeps, and his mother looks forward to their one-on-one time. This toddler has not hit his sister more than one or two times, usually only has to sit in time out a couple of times a day, and is in general a joy to be around. We have been praying for this little boy to come live at our house and God has answered our prayer. We are thankful!

That's great. Maybe the "Terrific Threes" (is that a real term?) are coming early to your house.
Congratulations on the new tenant!
So, what was your prayer...the EXACT WORDS. We're kind of looking for a certain 2 year old to move and be replaced with a nice, obedient, sweet 2 year old! At least now I know he's normal!
I'm with Lisa, I need you to email me a copy of EXACTLY what you said to God...you'd think I had an inside track with Him, but I think not! :) Elle had an amazing display of 2ness yesterday because I asked her to sit at her little table and cut out a picture and glue it on her paper. Maybe her next activity should be to read, "Don't sweat the small stuff"
And all without an exorcist. I just whispered to him that his Daddy was really going to law school, and he vanished!
