A couple of days ago I was sharing some of the funny stories I remembered of my children with my children. They each wanted to hear about something funny they did so we cracked out my journal. I'm not that great at writing in it as is evident by the fact that I started it in 2003 and well it's the same journal in 2012.
I found myself getting caught up in the memories I had recorded as I read some funny experience here or there. It's amazing how we forget so much until a few words can bring a memory rushing back.
One such entry was about one of my sons. One night while my husband was helping him with nightly prayers this son who would have been about two at the time informed his father that his car was going to say prayers with them. Now this car was one of those cheap replicas of a Cars movie car so it had eyes on the windshield. Anyhow when my husband said "ok say Dear Heavenly Father" and my son leaned down to the car and said "Say Dear Heavenly Father car". Then a pause. Then my son looked down and very aghast said "NO Eyes Car" and covered the cars eyes for the rest of the prayer.
After reading this entry in my journal I couldn't help but laugh again. I remembered the night it happened all over again and I thought how could I have forgot that. I'm glad for the constant advice from my Father-in-law who reminds me to "write that down" when I tell him a funny experience with the kids. It's blessed my life to be able to go back and remember and hopefully one day it will help them remember happy memories about me too.
