Solution to my Problems

A while ago I was in need of some help.

Scott likes to through fits.

He has a hard time communicating and I can understand that it gets frustrating for him.

Well it's frustrating for me too.

I want to help my son but I don't always know how.

We have done a lot of fasting and praying over the last year.

It's been difficult to know what to do sometimes.

But one day I was reading in the Ensign and an article popped out to me.

Toddlers and Tantrums by Jodee A. Yost.

I saw that and thought, I have a toddler and he likes to through tantrums, hmm I'll read that one.

I read it and instantly gained the same testimony of the author.

The thing is that I had started singing to Scott primary songs as lullaby's when he was just a baby, I didn't know any real lullaby's.

I had started singing those same primary songs a few months prier to reading this article to calm him down during his freak out moments.

That day that I was feeling so low and seeking solace in the ensign wasn't so much about Scott's tantrums, it was because I constantly feel like I'm not doing right by Scott.

I wonder if he had a different mom if he would have these same issues.

Sometimes I have a hard time being confident and positive.

Well this article confirmed for me that I was doing what I needed to do. 

That I was the best mom for Scott.

The Lord answered my prayers that night.

He continually has to deal with me complaining and getting down on myself and repeating my pleas over and over again but I know he listens to all of it.

Well just recently, within the past few weeks, Scott has picked his favorite song I sing to him.

It's the Temple song.

It's weird cause I have always gone in an order.

First I sing I am a Child of God, then A Child's Prayer, Families can be Together Forever, and then the Temple song.

Sometimes we don't even get to the Temple song.

So I asked his nursery leaders if they sing it to him, they said they never have.

Well, I'll be, Scott listens to me.

Poor guy, I have the worst voice but he somehow managed to pick a favorite.

We now have switched the order to include the Temple song first and last and sometimes we sing it in the middle too.
I love little droplets of hope along the road of life.
