Truth

OK...it's Wednesday and it's raining again. It's not supposed to be raining, at least according to the internet weather forcast. Hmmm...I guess I shouldn't plan my days around the internet weather man. This is the third day the kids cannot go outside to play. We have painted, colored, played with play dough (ok, they played and I swept), played Sorry, the tree frog game, had a few time outs (the boys, that is!),played James bond (One was James Bond and another was his bond girl...hilarious!) fought a little, played with toys a little and at the moment the sun is peeking through the clouds. Maybe, just maybe we can have some outside time before quiet time.

I have been babysitting for this particular family for almost three weeks now. I find it interesting that the ones in trouble the most are the boys. They fight, they hit, punch, kick and they really don't try to hide it. They do it for the whole world to see, come what may. The girls on the other hand are a little more subtle, a little more sneaky. Also, I find girls to discipline themselves. There are tears and hurt feelings where as boys suffer their time out then get up and do it again! I am amazed and in awe of the responsibility I have in helping to rear these precious kids. Today we learned that the truth is what is important. Not telling the truth will get us into the most trouble. Always be truthful.
