Have you ever noticed the fickleness of a child? Genesis completes her first (ever) week of school today. Our morning routine involves her and I leaving the house at 7:30, I drop her off at school then I go to work. On our way to school today, she kept saying, "I don't want to go to school." After about the twenty-seventh time, I said, "Ok, Genesis, if you don't want to go to school, I'm not going to tickle you." All of a sudden she wanted to go to school.I also become a "tickle shark" that really tickles her. So she asked for the shark. I told her that the shark was sleeping and the only way to wake it up was to say, "I can't wait to go to school!" I knew all along that school was what she needed today; we were going there no matter what she said.
Have you ever noticed that three year olds change their minds alot?
What my daughter needs is gentle, loving direction from her father. That's what we need too.

yeah, its like when you pray for something and you really really mean it, then a few months later you say, "Lord, thank you that you said no!!"
