Jul. 2, 2008 - Toby Mac Helps Me Be A Better Mother
What do do with three boys who have boundless energy? They have been driving me bananas the last couple of days, as even an hour in the park doesn't seem to dissipate any of their energy. Yesterday afternoon we were all grating on each others nerves and I was cranky, impatient, and miserable. In desperation, I put in a CD--Diverse City--and commanded; "Dance!" I sat down to watch. Gebre mainly ran around in circles. But Asrat has some moves.

At some point Asrat announced that he had switched from "cool" dancing (heavily influenced by our church's youth dance troupe) to "praise" dancing (obviously heavily influenced by the Pentacostal worship in our church).

Biruk had fun dancing too.
Eventually even the pantless Gebre joined in.
They got rid of excess energy, I got a much needed break (a noisy break, but it was a break) and we all had a good time.

The results are better and things always go so much more smoothly when I remember to take the time to get creative and be playful with my children.
