Funny kids

Evelyn got glasses this week.  While we picked them out she kept looking for some that would make her look like a librarian.  When she got them back, she wore them on her first day and she got soccer pictures.  She showed Jer the pictures and she asked if Jer could find her in the picture.  She was disappointed when he could.  Then she said that, "Some people have a hard time telling which one is me because I'm not wearing my glasses."

Sam was teasing that he didn't recognize her with her glasses on.  She got all teary eyed and said that she didn't like that.  I explained that he wasn't bullying, he was trying to play with her.  I told her about when my sister had to wear an eye patch and she got picked on at school.  My Dad told her that she was a pirate and that she stole his heart. 

I asked the kids in the car what I should teach to the Young Women about being Grateful this Sunday.  Evelyn said, "Being grateful helps you feel the Holy Ghost."  (I loved Elder Uchtdorf's talk called 'Grateful in any Circumstances' from the April 2014 conference.)

Seth has been particularly clingy this week.  Every time I sit down to help anyone with anything that doesn't have to do with him I get smashed and climbed on.  His favorite is sticking his face on mine and pushing hard.  I'm still trying to figure out why, but we've had lots of conversations about being kind and using words to ask for things instead of climbing all over me.
