This year for lent I am going to be given up all sweets. I have never attempted this before. Lent makes me reflect on where my life is going. I am also going to try to read The Purposeful Driven Life over the next forty days and start going to mass more often. My husband and I had a discussion about religion. He says he prays but doesn't really know if there is a God. I offered to change and try different churches until he finds one he is comfortable at. He does not want to go to church and doesn't want us to force Lincoln to go. One of the reasons he does not like going to church is because he was forced to go as a boy. I am a a crossroad here. I think Lincoln should go to mass. I guess for Lent I will be praying on this issue.
On another note I have to say how much I love Lincoln. He is amazing. He loves helping me out and aims to please. I am in love with the toddler stage even with the tantrums. There are so many things I never want to forget that he does. I have to figure out a way to bottle up this memories. For instance how he says "pllaay, ease, ze bra, choo choo" His new thing is to say I LOVE YOU and point at me. He does this ever time we eat a meal. He just melts my heart.
He is also sleeping in a big boy bed. It has taken a good week for him to get use to it. We moved him into the other bedroom and he is sleeping much better.

I do not think Church is something you can force on anyone.
Good for you on giving up sweets. Let me know how that goes. I loved The Purpose Driven Life. I read it a long time ago and it would be a good book to pick up again during Lent.
Glad to hear Lincoln is sleeping better. That can definitely be a hard transition.
