Sometimes They Do Listen

I always have acknowledged the fact that children have selective hearing, taking what they want and disregarding the rest. Occasionally though, what has been repeated over and over will sink in and make an impression. So when I feel like I am continuing to beat a dead horse, I'll remember what Kendle said in her prayers last night:

"Please bless Morgan that he can pick up his toys so mom doesn't have to bend over to pick them up. And please bless me that I can listen the first time mom and dad ask me to do something."

That pretty much made my whole tiring day worthwhile.
