They CAN behave. They just proved it.
You never saw nicer, sweeter kids. They are adorable. Loveable. Happy. Kind.
They had a blast swimming.
And they want to go again tomorrow. YAY! :-)
They swam for 2.5 hours with friends. The other mom and I were busy on a project together so Brianna was their personal lifeguard. I have a feeling Brianna will be a personal lifeguard with a number of little kiddos this swimming season until she leaves for California. The girl can't get a job this summer. There's a problem with her social security number, that can't be fixed immediately because there is a problem with her green card, which is going to cost an arm and leg to fix, but is in the process of being fixed, but since we are dealing with government it's going to take a half a life time to fix, so Brianna can't get a job this summer. (Like my run-on sentence? It's reflective of Bri's job issue. In case you were wondering.)
Back to the twins... They are fully capable of CHOOSING to be HAPPY when they want to. Isn't that just amazing?!!
And I knew it all along.

Happy for all of you! It probably took every ounce of brain and willpower they have to completely keep it together. I'm glad they like swimming so much. Hopefully this summer they are far enough along that they will build a habit that will last beyond swimming season!
Its so frustrating though...
To know that the only reason they were obedient was because it benefited them.
For our two toughies, I am often praying {and reminding them} that REAL obedience stems from love, not from selfish ambition.
With the Lord, with the Lord, all things are possible,
Blessings,
Summer
