This Applies to Mothers, too...

So...he's all of 3 year's old, but so thinks he is 33 year's old.
This is his "I CAN DO IT MYSELF, MOMMY" after going potty...
Well...he might bring back tucking in shirts back in style, or even opposite day back everyday if I continue to let him "do it himself", which is sometimes...OK a LOT of the times a major pain in the you know what, time consuming and just plain frustrating especially when you have a gazillion other things you just have to get to!
However, I realized at least at this proud moment of my one and only precious son's life, that this was so God's way of giving us a moment to experience HIS love and HIS patience in all things...



Which of course led me to these verses:
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
and
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Colossians 3:21

Thanks for a great reminder! My son reminds me of this often enough that I should know this by heart but I always seem to get very timely remeinders. :o)

Yes, thank you for this Betty! I have been struggling with my frustrations as well with a 2 year old that you know well who wants to do EVERYTHING himself. This is cute!
