Love This Boy

Jeron got new motorcross boots yesterday...thank you Grandpa and Patti! Jeremiah took him up Peavine to ride (you can see Jeremiah's bike tire on the right). They rode as far up as they could, until the snow turned them back...11.25 miles...just to break those boots in! Fun times.

I learned last week that the school I wish we were zoned for is accepting variances for next year. Also, they will have all-day kindergarten, something Jadee would love. Jeremiah and I have been talking about it and I have been talking to the parents in our ward whose children go there. I just need a divine confirmation.

So, I talked to Jeron today about the possibility. He was very excited. I explained that Daddy and I need to pray about it and I thought he should, too. Tonight, when I went in to tuck him in, he said, "I prayed about it and I don't feel anything, Mom." I asked him what he'd said in his prayer and he explained that he had asked Heavenly Father to help him to know which school to go to. We had a good discussion about the D&C and "studying it out in your mind" then asking if it be right. I told him he needs to think about the reasons he would go to each school and then make a decision and present it to Heavenly Father. We talked about the good feelings that come when the decision we've made is right and the stupor that comes when we need to re-think. He said he understood and I said good night.

A little while later, Jeron came to his "peek ledge" and said excitedly, "Mom, I did everything you said and I have a warm feeling!"

I am so grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who hears and answers little boys' prayers so quickly. I am grateful to a faithful little boy who is humble enough to pray and ask for guidance.

Did I mention that our Bishop's wife is the administrative assistant there and she'll be looking out for the kids? Also...for the first time in his school career, he'll have a Mormon friend in his class? I just hope that he and Josh can not get into too much fun trouble! I will also get to work in the PTO with my friends from the ward. Just gotta pray for confirmation...
