more money
This morning, we were teaching a Bible story to the girls about giving from a cheerful heart. When asked about the reason that mommy does the job that she does, Sweet Pea states that mommy works "to get us more money." We then explained the other reasons that mommy does the job I do. I think that I have put too much emphasis on having to go to work in order to be able to buy them the things that they enjoy instead of on the main reason that I chose my profession. Pumpkin Pie also commented that I only work with sexually abused children, again we have put a lot of emphasis on personal safety and boundaries and I have not given enough focus for her to see all of the other types of abuse that kids suffer daily. I guess I need to reevaluate how I am setting an example for them!

well, you are taking the appropiate steps for them to understand as they mature. you can't tell them everything all at once cuz they would explode!! or something:)
That would almost be funny to watch though! I do watch their faces become confused when I talk sometimes and it is the same face that Matt makes when he doesn't understand all that I am saying.
