Sheep and Shepherds

Sunday will be Garrett's preschool Christmas program. I have asked Garrett lots of questions about it and he has been reluctant to tell me anything about the program. Finally they posted a message for the parents to be practicing some songs, so I at least knew what he was supposed to be singing. I asked Garrett what he was going to be in the program and he told me nothing. Last year in Hunter's program the 3yr olds were sheep and cows (I think) so I asked Garrett if he was a sheep. He look horrified I would even ask such a question. He told me "girls are sheep, boys are shepherds!" Finally, I am getting somewhere...Garrett is a shepherd in the program. I am learning with this one I have to ask just the right questions to get a straight answer.

I had an answered prayer this week. Garrett has been having trouble going in to his class every day, and I have been praying for him to transition better...perhaps for a friend to help him into class. Well, Tuesday, a little boy, Ethan, came running to our car very excited to see Garrett. Garrett jumped out of the car and literally ran into his class. Today, again, he met up with Ethan and went right into class. I am so thankful for the little answered prayers...it makes it easier to pray for bigger things and have faith that God answers those prayers, too.
