Lately, Paxton has had trouble going to sleep at night. Before now, he went to bed around 8:30 and went straight to sleep without getting up. However, these days we are lucky if he doesn't get up 3 or 4 times. He is consistent with one thing... he says he is scared. Apparently this is common among his age group or at least in his class and today there was a discussion among a few of the kids that his teacher overheard. The teacher was kind enough to write down his quote for us. Paxton's portion was this...
"When I am scared,
Jesus is always right behind me.
He always protects me.
And he can go to everyone's house and
protect you too!"
Ben and I have never been so proud! We have been praying at night with Paxton for Jesus to keep him safe and help him not to be scared. As a parent, you don't always know that they are paying attention but we are excited to know that Paxton is actually listening :)
Sweet boy!! That's such a great memory to remember. You're smart to blog it:)
