"A sweet and obedient child will only enroll their father or mother in Parenting 101. If you are blessed with a child that tests your patience to the nth degree, you will be enrolled in Parenting 505. Rather than wonder what you might have done wrong in the pre-mortal life to be so deserving, you might consider the more challenging child a blessing, and an opportunity to become more God-like yourself. With which child will your patience, long-suffering and other Christ-like virtues most likely be tested, developed and refined? Could it be possible that you need this child as much as this child needs you?"

As soon as he spoke these words Garrett and I looked at each other and said we're in parenting 505!! Hopefully all of Christlike attributes will be refined and I can shape my children in the ways of the gospel. They have very STRONG personalities and I seriously wouldn't have it any other way!! Here's to Parenthood!!!
What Parenting course are you taking 101, or 505???
