Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever wonder what goes on in a child's head? We have been dealing with issues with Tanner and football. I guess you really don't realize what is going on in their heads until it has all built up to much. Bert and I finally decided that Tanner needed to quit the football team. We hated for him to quit, but we could tell it wasn't pleasant for Tanner. Last night after I asked Tanner how he felt about quitting the team he looked at me with some really big issues concerning his safety. I just wonder how long his little mind thinks about different issues. What can you say to fix them? The only way to fix them is to pray about them and God will take care of it.

On Friday of the fair Tara had brought Koen and Payton down to the fair to watch Carlee and Tanner show. Payton loved looking at the animals. It was so curious to me though when Payton took me to a pile of cow manure. She kept looking at it and saying "yuck poop". I thought it was so cute. We left the area, and then Payton took me back to it. She looked at a little boy standing beside it, and said "yuck poop - clean it up". I just wondered what was going on in her mind because no one cleaned it up we just left it. I wondered if she thought we were all really gross because we were leaving manure laying around.

I sometimes would just love to be in the mind of a child to see how far they ponder on issues. I would love to fix there problems and not let them worry about different things. If only we could fix all of the kids problems it would be wonderful!
