Remember who you are.

Each morning on my way to work I take these three:




























and drop them off at school. As they climb out of the car I call out,

     
     "make good choices"
     "be kind to others"
     "return with honor" and most importantly

     "remember who you are"

Yesterday, Emma was with me when I dropped them off. After I called out:
     "remember who you are"
Miss Emma said, "Mom, why do you say that?" They know who they are. They are Brax, Ryan, and Allie. Mom, they KNOW who they are (shaking her head).

I replied, "they know who they are sweetheart, but I want them to remember WHO they are". They are children of Heavenly Father, they are taught to make good choices, they are "Warriors for good" for the Savior (tried for a bit a dramatics there at the end).

She didn't say anything for a minute, and then she said, "Oh I get it!
That is so funny. I didn't think you knew that they know who they are, Like going to school makes them forget they are Brax, Allie and Ryan".
That is really funny."

and the she started to laugh. Here she is as we pulled out of the parking lot. I think she really thought I was crazy.

That made me laugh. Thanks for that! I have yet to go to that book website, but I am very excited to do so. So many good reads!

Miss you lots.
