Prayers and Dump Trucks

How do you get your little one to sit still during prayer? 
 
My little 2 year old Levi has a hard time sitting still during prayer. Most of the time he starts out with his arms folded, sitting in a lap,  but then he typically jumps down and ends up wandering around the room before the amen is said. We stumbled across a different plan, purely by accident, but it works- most of the time. :)



Why, you get him a dump truck, of course!

When it's time for prayer he goes and gets his dump truck, wheels it in, and sits down. I say if it works- we'll do it. (Now the only problem is trying not to giggle throughout the prayer.)

Math Woes...

 Aaron was frustrated with his math homework. Being the dramatic kid that he is he declared that he was going to be one of those guys who never gets a job and never moves out of their parents house because every job he could ever want involves math and he just can't do it.
He actually looked like he was going to cry when Matt and I both jumped on that and told him that was NOT an option. It's tough work disillusioning a 10 year old...
