Lessons from children

There are a million other things I should be doing, but here I am updating this!
Allen and I moved into our very first house this week. Almost everything we own is out of the apartment and into the house, Allen is at work and although I should be unpacking the boxes are just completely overwhelming right now.
Allen leaves Friday for Anaheim and I will really miss him here in this big house without him, but I think Jules is going to come stay with me and we always have fun together, plus I am really feeling a girls night in the works,Confessions of a Shopaholic anyone?
Work is going well, I love the kids in my class so much! When you spend all day with three year old kids you really learn to appreciate how fun they are. We work on out counting numbers in class each day and we usually just practice 1-10, but a few days ago I went to 11 and they looked at me funny and I said "well 11 is the number righ after 10, it always comes right after 10 and there are lots of other numbers too that we will learn about one day" one of the girls in my class threw the back of her hand against her forehead (very scarlett o'hara esque) and exclaimed "Holy macaroni! That is crazy Mrs. Jamie!" I have realized that there is so much I can learn from these kids, and as I learn from them I will share it on here.

Lesson of the day: Beauty is relative
Father's day is coming up and today in class we did a survey on daddy's. One of the questions was "My daddy is as handsome as __________." One of the little boys in my class thought about it for awhile and then proudly said "My daddy is as handsome as a back-hoe!" A back-hoe is not something I would have used to describe beauty, but to him it was high praise. I just have to remember sometimes that what we see through our eyes is so very different than the view from God's eyes. I think we forget that when we get caught up in our own shortcomings, it is easy to forget that God sees our beauty even when we can't see it for ourselves. To him, we are as handsome as a back- hoe, thank goodness!
