Oh please God...

GUESS WHO???

Here are some silly Ruthie antics:

• She found a stick out in the back yard and has been using it lately as a shepherds cane. She pretends that Tucker and Buddy are her lambs, and she shoos them where she wants them to go. Then she takes a hand full of sand and sprinkles it about saying she is feeding her hens. I was going to mow the lawn as she yells out "watch out for my hens!"

• Then today she was in her swimsuit cause she had been playing in our kiddie pool and was cold. She came in and told me she prayed and asked God to make the sunshine on her so she could get warm, and then it did, and she prayed that the "dogs would stop just drinking the pool water", and they did. A while later I was out there and she was standing just inside the shadow of our big maple tree when I heard her praying, "Oh please God, make the sunshine on me now, so I can be warm, oh please, God" then she stepped out into the sun. I didn't know how to respond so I went in the house and snickered quietly.

• Earlier I got to see her throw a little temper tantrum just like Mommy did the day before. I heard her yelling and banging something outside, so I went to see. She was throwing her swing around. I told her to cool it and to come here and have a seat. When I asked what was going on she said, (exactly the words I said) "I hate these dogs!" Woops, I knew then I had to explain how wrong I was and those were not good words to use. She continued telling me how mad they were making her for drinking the pool water, and how they were wasting it!

Oh my Ruthie, she is so sweet. She keeps me on my toes. I pray God would help me to teach her to be better than myself. These are some silly things that I just wanted to record so I can remember them for a long time and tell her later on.
