I tell my children this very thing after the burners have died down!

You know that extra Bible reading and praying? You need it. And you’ll keep needing it. (You weren’t praying for patience, were you?) And you’ll spank her, because you want her to grow up to be as beautiful inside as she is outside. And one day, quite soon, you will laugh about it. The Deep Woods Playroom caper. It’ll be rueful laughter for awhile, and then it’ll just be laughter.

This is not at all encouraging. The fact that these things continue to happen even after age 3 is not at all heartening. Thank goodness I have wood floors because the boys did much the same thing two days ago, except it was a can of that spray-on sunscreen. The entire brand-new can. Of sunscreen. Everywhere. Gross. I was hoping there might only be a year or so more of this. *sigh* Well, at least the boys won’t get a sunburn anytime soon. And you guys will never have problems with mosquitoes in your playroom.
