She's A Sparkie Now

Since the beginning of the AWANA year, Zoe has been counting down the patches until she's in Sparks with me.  Granted, it's based on age, not on how many sections you pass, but that's not as fun to countdown.  Especially since Zoe is the only child I've ever known who wished time went backwards.  She'd much rather be an infant than 6.  Her mother would much rather she be 6 than an infant.  I get WAY more sleep now.

Last night was the awards night for AWANA.  Zoe officially passed her Cubbies book, received a ribbon and flowers from daddy, who couldn't make it to the ceremony because of a class.


The whole night was spent talking about what happens in Sparks, what color team will she be on, does she actually earn money for the AWANA store, what songs we sing, what kind of games do we play, and that she's going to be my special helper.

I love that she loves AWANA.  It was one of my favorite things growing up.  She's just as eager to continue on with hiding God's word in her heart.  This mamma will take that any day!
