Seth at 4+

My "little" boy is getting bigger by the minute.

Sometimes, by the second.

And he's doing great.

Overall, Seth is succeeding in school.  He is learning and moving his way through the "work" of Montessori.  I'm proud of him.

He has friends and he likes his teacher.  Most days.

Seth has had some blips along the way and we've been trying to figure out what brings that out and why.  But somethings simply may not be known.  :)

One of the strange things about Seth -- pretty much since birth -- is that he doesn't like music or dancing or singing (especially by me).

I don't know if it's his sensory processing that makes it hard for him, but it has been difficult.

Lately, I've noticed a change.

He requests music (during our after-dinner-dance-party).

He wants it loud.

He dances.

He asks ME to dance.

We sing together.

Yes, this is basic stuff (as in, Leah does it all the time), but it is not basic for Seth.

And tonight?  My favorite.

He got an electric guitar out (one we've had f.o.r.e.v.e.r) and played it.

Over and over.

He strummed it and danced.

He asked me to do it too.

We sang and giggled.

And played.

The Lord is healing Seth; I just know it.

This weekend, at Created for Care, one of the speakers suggested that we ask God for a verse for each of our kids for the year.  And laminate it.  And pray it -- all year.

I prayed for Seth's verse and the word healing kept coming to mind.

So, for 2012, I chose Malachi 4:2.

"But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings.  You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall."

Oh, to see Seth leaping like a calf.

I can't wait!

He makes ALL things beautiful.... in His time.
