yesterday i experienced the down side to david's amazing imagination. he was scared of literally everything. it began outside when a grasshopper had the nerve to jump near him - melt down. then he couldn't go grab a book because one of his toys was going to get him. then we couldn't go to sleep for nap-time because there was a giant, a monster, a snake and not nice shadows in his room. you get the picture.
i had to take a few timeouts myself throughout the day. of course i wanted to say - "get over it" or "suck it up" but thankfully after my timeouts with God had the renewed compassion david needed. it's not like he wanted to be scared or was trying to be disobedient. i was encouraged that after a very long day of prayer, talking, reassuring, and repeating that bedtime went pretty smoothly. lets hope that we don't have more days like that one. moments, yes! days, NO!
