A couple weeks ago we hosted community group at our house so we took the kids over to another couple’s house to join their kids and the babysitters. Our group has two babysitters that watch all the kids while we have group every week. But we usually have a sitter come to our house because Ian goes to bed so early its just easier that way. Before we left the house to drop off the kids we had a talk with Faith about watching out for Peyton and helping taking care of him. She took it ALL to heart and said that she would make sure he was OK. A few minutes after we had talked, she came back in the room and said, “mommy, what if I need to go Potty?” She had been back in her room thinking through how she was going to take care of her brother and the thought crossed her mind that she wouldn’t be able to watch him if she was in the bathroom. My heart melted when she said that. What almost 4 yr. old thinks these things through like that…….We talked about her not having to watch him every second and that she should have fun and play too! She has such a tender and mothering heart. When I went to pick up the kids that night, the babysitter told me that Faith had a close eye on Peyton the whole night and that at one point he wanted to go outside where the older kids where playing. She opened the door and announced to everyone that her little brother was coming out and everyone needed to watch out for him and stop swinging! Too precious!
I have no doubt that she is going to be a good momma one day!
Peyton and Faith went down to LR this past weekend with Lee. They decided that they wanted to sleep together in Peyton’s baby bed. They were there three nights, and all three nights they slept in the same baby bed! They didn’t want to be apart.
Since they have been home they have been sleeping in Faith’s room together. Peyton sleeps in the baby bed though because Faith wakes up earlier than he does and it will wake him up if they are in the same bed. These two are best buds!
Tonight was the first night that I put Ian down in Peyton’s room. We will see how that goes. Ian has been sleeping in our closet in the Pack-n-Play! Poor little guy had spent his first 8 months in the closet!
One last moment that I don’t want to forget……Faith and Peyton have chapel at MDO where they take all the kids in the sanctuary together for a Bible story and singing. Both of their teachers have told me how they LOVE to sit together in Chapel. Faith always leaves her class group and goes to Peyton’s class and sits with him. They have been doing this for a while now. I always ask them when I pick them up if they sat together in chapel. Today Faith told me that they “meet at the stairs, and then go to his classes section”. One day I want to see them do that…….. cuteness! My prayer is that they will always be this close!
