Cute:
We had Thomas' boss to supper the other night, and Turner begged me to include "brown spotted beans" on the menu. (aka black eyed peas!)
Sweet:
We were talking about the story of Moses in the car on the way to school this morning. I was saying, "Moses did some big things for God! He even had to go to Pharaoh and tell him to let his people go." I told her I'd probably be afraid to do that. She quickly said, "I wouldn't. Moses had God on his side. He had nothing to be afraid of, Mom!"
...if only I could remember that!!!
Innocent:
We have a VERY competitive soccer team here in SoCal. It's driven by the parents and is quite frankly way over the top! Thomas and I try to laugh about it, and since he's an assistant coach, he tries to influence the girls the best he can. Anyway, their team -- The Pink Strikers -- is undefeated, and many of the parents know the exact scores of every game so far and can rattle them off. I have no idea.
What I DO know, is that this past Saturday, three neat things happened:
1. A little girl on the opposing team tripped and fell pretty hard. Turner ran across the field to check on her and help her up! (we were more proud of that than Turner's goals!).
2. A little girl who was benched during the third quarter with Turner was complaining that their team was falling behind and that if she didn't get back in, they might lose. Turner said, "Gabby, don't you know that it's not about winning, it's about having fun! Don't worry."
3. When one of the girls asked Turner the score of the game, she turned the girl around and looked at her jersey (she was #9), and Turner said, "You're 9, and I'm 5!"
Love it! And her!!!
