Upon inspection we found that my son had dumped all of the shampoo and conditioner into the tub to "wash" and was in the process of emptying my can of shaving gel. He had his little play razor and was "shaving like daddy". Oh...and last night? He stabbed himself in the ear with a stick when I wasn't looking and then while we were at the doctor's office his father opened the door on his little foot and tore the skin off his big toe. <br/><br/>Don't feel bad. We all have "those" days. My son was in the tub the other night and my husband forgot to remove all of the hair and body care products from the sides…after a while it got VERY quiet.

I think all children need to fall down the stairs at least once. It’s their learning curve.

So when you said, “Once the littlest boys were in bed for their naps,” my mind was suddenly swept into the idea that you run a children’s home. Like in Peter Pan!

A poem by William Cowper, the one I adore:

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

Seriously , we all have those moments…when J was 4 months old I turned my back and she rolled right off of my bed. That was one of many times when I’ve uh questioned my parenting skills.

Oh and sorry to sound ignorant but what is Charter school ? Is it the same as private school ?
