He has grown so much. And he amazes me everyday!
Today I saw him walk by my office door with an oil bottle in his hand. I do not let him use them alone as I worry about him or any of the kids getting them accidentally in their eyes. So I tagged along after him.
He stopped at the dinning room chair, plopped down and smiled and held up the Lavender for me.
I asked "whatcha got"? He said, "Lavender" , and grinned a very pleased with himself grin. :) (mind you he fetched this correctly from a huge basket full of all kinds of oils!!!)
I asked, "and what are you using the lavender for?" He held out his arm and said, "it itches" (and showed me the beginnings of a rash he must have picked up from the yard).
I was very impressed and my heart overflowed. ♥ Ethan not only loves the oils like I do, but he has been paying attention when I teach him what they are used for. And as anyone knows, that's sometimes an amazing feat in any child!!
We oiled up his itchy spot and he proclaimed it "ALL BETTER" and off he went. He content that he took care of his own problem, and I, feeling like I always do when essential oils (and Ethan) are involved, blessed as always!!!
Happy Oiling!!
