Imagining

By -
Anyone who has been around FullerTown very much know the little Fuller's love of Berenstain Bears. There is one episode when there is a spring fling kind of gathering. Papa and Mama Bear are supposed to dance for the entertainment at the Spring Fling. The problem is that Papa is very busy building the stage for the event. Brother Bear has to be a stand-in so that Mama can practice. Another problem is that Brother does not want to dance. Mama comes up with a solution!!

She tells Brother that he can imagine: he is not dancing, he is practicing his sports moves! So, Brother doesn't mind assisting Mama with her dance practice.

We had a little imagining session around here this evening.

Out of the blue, Anna Brooke crawls up in Daddy's lap and says, "I'm gonna be 15 and I'm gonna have a car and Barbie keys and a boyfriend and we're gonna go on a date!"

So Luke says, "When I'm 16 I'm gonna have a big Duke-blue truck with Duke keys and a Duke license. I'll also have a girlfriend and she'll sit next to me."

Our eyes just about leaped out of our heads and I'm sure Daddy's heart skipped a few beats. After all the excitement over imagining the future of FullerTown happenings Daddy looked at me and said, "We only have Luke for 12 more years. One-third of his childhood is over."

I just have one thing to say:

We have Luke for 12 and a half more years.

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
