I wish they would stay this age forever. I wish I could put them in a bubble and protect them from everything that could hurt them. But all I can do is teach them and help them make the right choices. And what a blessing it is to see them make the right choices even when we're not there. And I'm also glad that they're faced with those choices. Little things, like watching the right shows, Jake will immediatly change the channel when a cartoon he's not supposed to watch is on, even though he really wants to see the shows his friends are talking about. I have to say that when Mr. Rider talked to him about being careful about what he sees because it goes to his brain, I didn't think he would understand. But he does, he understands that it is important to protect his heart. Different times we live in, I didn't expect my little 5 year old to ask "what are drugs?" but unfortunately that is something we have to talk about now, because he'll face that choice someday too.
