Making the Right Choice

Chase received his first CTR ring from Primary last week. I can't beleive he is already 6 years old. We asked him what the ring was for and why he got one. In his own words:

Chase tell me about this ring

" It is a CTR ring mom, you know choose the right"

What does it mean to choose the right Chase?

"I wear the ring and I choose the right"

And what is a right choice Chase?

"Do what mom says?"

He was scratching his head after that answer, and so was I

Well it started the conversation anyways. He has a better understanding of what choosing the right means now. He was very excited to have his own CTR ring and he wore it proudly, until he lost it. We have a rule in our house that there are no "bad boys" only bad choices. When the boys are in trouble I say that was a bad choice and we talk about it. I am not always sure they get it. then the CTR ring came along.

Another classic Chase quote that he uses alot these days.

When asked "Chase that was the wrong choice

why did you do that?"

"MOM!! I didn't have my CTR ring on! that is why I made a bad choice"

Oh I love him so much he makes me laugh all the time and constantly has me on the top of my game.
