February 5

Since Isaac and Abby go to the same school but get out at different times (don't get me started on that one), the Little Boys and I typically spend the hour between the dismissal times at the park. More often than not, Isaac climbs on the big rope structure while Brady plays in the sandbox. Today, Isaac joined Brady in sand-land, and the two worked to create a big race track for the little monster truck Brady keeps in the stroller.

As they entered the latter stages of the project, two of Isaac's long-time buddies --E and J-- joined them. Then all four boys worked together to transport the sand needed to finish the job.

With so much emphasis placed on getting ahead these days, it's such a relief to see little ones pulling their resources and abilities to create something together. There's definitely power in numbers, and the lessons learned while engaged in teamwork are definitely big-time blessings. God is very much in their cooperation.
