Several quick stories. I recently have become acquainted with a deaf woman named Stefanie. We pick her up on Tuesdays and take her to an elementary school where she teaches sign language to some kids. Anyway, over that past three weeks I have been trying to explain to Eli that she can't hear what he is saying, despite him yelling it at the top of his lungs sometimes. This has been a good opportunity for me and for him, because I have been able to reintroduce myself to sign language and the deaf community, and Eli has been able to pick up some new signs. Anyway, yesterday we were heading out to pick up Stephanie, and before we leave in the car we always say a prayer. Eli usually offers it. Now here comes the sweet part, after asking that we would be careful, Eli blessed Stephanie that her ears would get better. I thought how sweet and considerate of him. Although he doesn't fully understand that she can't hear, he knows that he can ask Heavenly Father to help her "ears get better". It make me smile.
The other sweet moment happened a couple of minutes ago. I was reading the twins a book before I laid them down for a nap, so I had both on my lap. As I was reading I looked down, and they were holding hands. I wish I could of gotten a picture of it. It was so sweet, both intent on the pictures in the book, and holding hands. I love moments like that. Anyway here are some pictures.
