danger zone

today was no exception. i ran upstairs to change my slimed shirt before a relief society picnic. i was upstairs for less than two minutes before i hear cole screming, which was quickly followed by ben yelling,"i not doing anything mommy!" which is an instant tip that ben has in fact just done something very naughty and he knows it. i ran down the stairs to find cole tipped over in his stand-up play thing and ben hiding behind the couch. nice. cole is so incredibly lucky to be alive. i pray every night that cole makes it to see one. when i read scripture stories with ben and he comes to the page where jesus is praying in gethsemane, he asks me,"why jesus praying for us?" i tell him, "he is praying for us to make the right choices so we will be happy. "oh," he says, "he praying i not fight coley anymore?" "yes ben, he is praying that you don't fight coley anymore." oh boy.
