Does he go to a play group or something like that? There's a park and rec center around here that has all kinds of classes for little people. 3 1/2 is high time for him to get to be playing with other kids his age.. not all the time, but a couple times a week for sure.<BR/>I hope the griping helped, and winter won't be that long. It never is :)Alysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820396354932192545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390087221610436679.post-19248311886221115372008-11-16T20:16:00.000-05:002008-11-16T20:16:00.000-05:00Gah!

I've been whining about the end of summer ever since the temps dipped below the 70s every day (sound familiar?).<BR/><BR/>Our sinful nature crabs at everything which makes us uncomfortable (the cold weather being a prime example -- snow and sub-zero temperatures increase the crabbing -- been there, done that, got the t-shirt!).<BR/><BR/>The great hymn writers can give us much comfort. For example, Johann J. Moller, 1704:<BR/><BR/>I am content! My Jesus liveth still,<BR/>In whom my heart is pleased.<BR/>He hath fulfilled the Law of God for me,<BR/>God's wrath He hath appeased,<BR/>Since He in death could perish never,<BR/>I also shall not die forever.<BR/>I am content! I am content!<BR/>TLH 196 - One of my most favorite hymns<BR/><BR/>We're looking forward to seeing y'all over Thanksgiving, and then, together, we can talk about how much we will enjoy Spring when it arrives!<BR/><BR/>We love you all,<BR/>Dad DiersDave Diershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944714273283607380noreply@blogger.com
