So, I know the picture is of Abby and Nathanael and that Ian is my 5 year old. The blog is about Ian, but I feel like I blog about him most and wanted to give my other two favorites some air time. The thing about Ian is I spend the most time with him and dude is a CHARACTER. My brother called him a cartoon character brought to life and it is a fabulous description of the riot our youngest is.
Anyway, when I picked Ian up from preschool today, he began to tell me about his day. His best buddy got into an argument with someone and he relayed the whole thing to me. He ended with "But Mom, I just stayed out of it." Of course I said good for you. But I thought "I wish." Don't you wish you could just stay out of it sometimes? Man, how many times especially as women to do we just jump in....we are drama junkies or want to have our girls' backs. A girlfriend said to me the other day that I was a drama magnet right now...just attracting it. Sometimes I wish I could end a story with "But Father God, I just stayed out of it." Instead of hearing "Child, what a mess you have gotten yourself into!" How wise of my son to know, sometimes, you just have to leave it alone.
30 minutes later
Ian: *giggles* Look Mom.
Me: *turns* What?
Ian: *giggles* The chicken is naked. (He had eaten off the breading.)
It ain't all wisdom!!!
