so we were off to take gabe to school yesterday morning (actually early, just for the record). we had gotten dressed, brushed teeth, eaten breakfast, fixed hair and all the other fun stuff that goes with getting two boys ready for the day. into the car we went. we always spend the morning ride to school going over AWANA verses for the following week, learning the books of the Bible, and praying. all of this took place yesterday morning as regularly scheduled (did i mention we were early!!). i was just about to pull into the school's car line when i hear gabe say from the back seat so matter of factly, "mom, we're going back home. i forgot my shoes." good grief!!
there are many ways that i could have reacted to this situation. i could have made him go in with just socks (not thinking that would have gone over well), i could have gotten upset and yelled at him. . .then i remembered that in the past week, i have turned around at least five times within five miles of our house to go back and get something i forgot. so. . . i cut him so slack, turned it around and came back home to find the shoes neatly placed right where they belong on the shelf. . . and the best part. . . we still made it to school on time. =)
