Life with Kids
Nov

Just a few random thoughts this morning, related to some aspects of parenthood.
- It’s fun to go out in the yard with the kids and play catch. But to get to that point, you have to play many games of throw.
- For many people, daylight saving time is a chance for an extra hour of sleep. But for parents of small children, DST is a chance for an extra hour of playtime in the morning. Those kids don’t care what the clock says. Whether that’s good or bad depends on your attitude.
- Once you’ve successfully completed the task of clipping an infant’s pinkie toenails, you can try something less stressful – like open-heart surgery.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:4-5

Yes, G’s big-time into football, so for awhile there we were playing “throw” everyday after school.
The kids were at the grandparents’ house for a long weekend, so we didn’t have to deal with them and the time change. We just enjoyed the extra hour of sleep!

When my wife asks me to clip my son’s nails, I simply say, “No.”
It’s Biblical.

“Biblical” as in “part of Evan’s Nazarite vow”?

Biblical as in “let your yes be yes and your no be no”.
I let my no be no when it comes to nail clipping on infants.
