Little man amazes me. A little brag time! He placed 1st in humorous interpretation and 3rd in Prose this weekend at a debate tournament. He is hilarious. He shocked me this morning as he was ironing a shirt. Yes, ironing a shirt. He said a few girl's really like what he wore to the speech tournament. YES! He took my clothing advise. Progress does happen. He is even concerned that he has a unibrow and is plucking. Should I be concerned. Please don't repeat this as I will be banned from posting. I think he has really nice eyebrows. I love what my mom said a few visits ago. "I didn't think he washed his hair, but I do see the shine in it." You see he isn't too good at combing, but he does shower daily with shampoo and body wash. Our next goal is a good brushing. I love these years. Watch for my next blog following up on the "Do Hard Things" talk with Chandler. There are a few things in the works.
My man, little man and I watched "Fireproof." What a great film on marriage and commitment. Chandler thought it was poorly produced and cheesy. I pray he got the message that marriage is hard and that it takes work. I also pray that he sees the profound effect it had on his dad and me. (We kissed on and off throughout the movie, he thought it was gross!) You see we have a good marriage and yet it can get stale. This film challenges you to go through a book called the Love Dare. It helps you to go deeper, put away selfishness, call in the middle of the day just because and give a little gift to let your loved one know you are thinking of them. It takes 40 days and we are on day 7. I asked the man is this for real. He said, "I will start with day 1 again until I get it." He loves me so much and I pretty much adore him to death. Take the dare. Go to amazon.com and order the movie and book. You won't be sorry!
