Ethan quotes for September

"Why are we eating Boston's Butt!?"

"Mom, is there such things as leprechauns?  What about walnuts?  What about stars on earth and rockets that jump?"

"ethan, please stay in the backyard" "ok, but first i am going to get the bees." "Where are they?" "In my bed!" "Oh. o.k."

 Ethan: "Mom, you should have cheered for me when I ate all my oatmeal this morning." Me: "Yay." Ethan: "Now say it like you mean it!"

"Benjamin, when you grow up, you can fight like a good guy, OR you can help build your own house!"

Repentance

I just had to take a moment at the end of a really LONG day and write what just happened with Bryce.  I had to move him out of the room with Levi (it just wasn't working!) and he got really upset and said "I hate you!  I wish I lived somewhere else."

I heard him, chose to remain calm and just told him that what he said hurt me and please get in bed.  

Well, a few minutes later, he came out of his room with tears in his eyes, and said, " I am sorry for being so disrespectful to you mom and for saying those things."  FINALLY!  a glimpse of some true repentance from him!  It was a wonderful moment and i didn't want to forget it.
