I know that I have sometimes complained that Three is a much harder age than Two was, well this conversation made me think twice...
Andi: Mama, I scared, monsters! Monsters!
Tenna: It's ok, don't be scared, Jesus is here. You're safe, Jesus is here.
Tenna repeated this mantra for a few minutes and calmed Andi down without my intervention. I later heard her singing to Andi when she began to fuss again. I think those are the moment that mothers are given to show them that some of the good things we do really do sink in, and they know that they are loved.
