Brotherhood

Hallelujah for brotherhood! As we press on through the attempted pummeling and attempted face examinations (the finger poking to the extreme!), I am thankful. The LORD is giving me wisdom in how to show them ways to interact safely and play together, though they are at different places in their development. A few minutes ago, I was giving Isaiah a time out due to smacking Jeremiah in the head with the V-tech Move & Crawl Ball! And now, yet again, Isaiah was throwing his Baden Mini-star soccer ball at Jeremiah's head (for some reason thinking that his brother was going to play catch with him!) while Jeremiah was bouncing in his Evenflo ExerSaucer (highly recommend). I must admit that as much as Isaiah is having to be rebuked, he is also being encouraged for his excellent ideas in blessing Jeremiah with joy and companionship. Hallelujah for grace and patience to take one day at a time as we marvel at love growing in our midst.
