He's Looking at you Kid!!!

One of our Saturday things to do one our list is take the trash off. Most of the time Ezekiel and Kegan take it off by themselves but today Ezekiel wanted his mom to tag along- Smart boy! As we were getting ready to go we put on our jackets and Kegan put on his orange hat and Ezekiel had his own. Kegan called for Ezekiel to look at him and when he looked he noticed him and his dad had on their same hat. He then did his 'happy' dance. He was so thrilled to be like his dad. In this past week Ezekiel has mastered the art of eating with a fork. Sounds simple I know but for him the stab, turning it around to place in his mouth is such a task for his age and he takes it so very serioulsy- how did he learn- he watched us- When i saw his reaction today from him and his dad being the same I thought what a task we have as parents. He wants to be us. Even though we are teaching him that when it is cold outside we need coast and hats I hope are actions we live each day teach him greater. He knew today he needed his hat and he got it before we went outside. As he grows I hope that we he faces trials he will turn to Jesus because he has seen us rely on Jesus. When he has to decide what friends to hang out with, will he see his mom and dad and the christian friends they have chosen for their lives. He wants to be like us- Are we enough like Jesus that if he tries to be like us then he is like Jesus?????????
