Imagine my surprise when, this morning, Elias starts freaking out, wrecking the house, saying, "I can't find my list! Where is my list?! My summer list?!" Say what, big boy? I quickly figured out he was imitating a scene from an Arthur movie we'd gotten at the library and it was so cute, I couldn't help but ask him if he wanted to make as summer list, which of course - he did!
So, we got out some paper, started writing, and when it was all said and done - we had to pray over that list because some of it seems a bit lofty. It inspired me to dream a little bigger about what I want the summer to be like and ask the Lord to fulfill those things that are in accordance with His will.
Before I get too serious... here is my sweet boy's very first summer list.
- go on an airplane
- watch Eloise, the movie (this was Glory's)
- go to Nonny's house
- go to the beach
- go on a boat and see something
- play with Abel
- go to a campfire
- get a new toothbrush
- eat some goldfish
(I swear he doesn't only eat veggies all day)
- go to the zoo
- go swimming with Nonny
- do fire with daddy (this one scares me a bit)
- go to class at Nonny's church
- Ruby come to my house
- go on a bus
- go to school
(I'm going to have to get a little creative here)
- watch Cars movie
- go to the track and run
- walk to the store & get a treat
- eat pasta at Silas' house
- cook ice cream
- play outside in a bathing suit
- eat some corn.
- go with James to Kanah & Grace's house
- go on an eating date with Daddy
(yeah, buddy - me too)
- have a picnic
- play upstairs with Tullie & Ellison
- do swimming
- go to the library
- go on a boat with Pop.
- play ball.
Yeah, no babies here.
We've got a straight up BOY on our hands.
And I love him.
