{Proof}

The following clip is for all those out there who think our kids are "naturally" well-behaved and do not need discipline. Unfortunately, discipline is a necessity in our home. Much like I feel KitKats are these days. Now before everyone gets all up in my business about filming and posting this, you should know that several people actually challenged me to this thinking I embellish my trials as Jude and Eli's mother. What? Me? Exaggerate? NEVER.

For evidence of some sanity in the Kim household and balance in videos, I've attached Jude doing his first month of memory verses. You're probably wondering how many of these I will actually take and why I don't think this is getting old. I think Jude agrees. My only answer is, "But he's so cuuute!" From the patient and uninterested look on Jude's face, I honestly thought he was going to say, "I'm only doing this because you're being a bit pathetic, and I'm embarrassed for you."

Thanks for all the encouraging words, thoughts, and prayers for Baby #3. I keep thinking I should remind God that I'm really not as strong as He apparently thinks I am to handle these concerning pregnancies. But I have a hunch these are really His ways of reminding me that a mother's primary act of love and responsibility to her children is on her knees in prayer for them.

lis, never exaggeration, nevuh.  why do i feel like jude looks so bool-sahng-heh?  i know bible memory is good and all, but man he looks like he has a lot of pressure! ;P  and eli, that is just classic.  but i still believe jacob has eli beat in this category.  i think all of CEC remembers how i would just throw him out in the hallway and let him have his tantrums...then it got so loud that it echo'd and disturbed adult worship that i resorted to sticking him in that little toddler bathroom...door closed!  and GOD absolutely knows you inside and out!  hugs!

Wow!  Great job, Jude!!  I'm so impressed.  :)  Umm... can you let me know when Eli turns 2?  I think I may want to switch teaching that class - kidding!  He was in my class last week and he was actually doing really well in there.  From this entry though it looks like you have one saint and one not-so-saintly.  ;)

Oh mah gah...what in the world did you do to make Eli soooo MAD??? =)I can laugh now, which I am, because I'm not there but I really appreciate you sharing these "Hallmark" moments with us. It's funny b/c the video stops displaying a picture, but the audio still has Eli screaming. Did he kick a hole in the floor?
