It starts soo early.

I think its so amazing to see Gods plan unfolding... what I mean is.. How God designed the woman and the Man... its so neat to see it even in the Children. Anna my daughter and oldest has always been motherly since having a brother at 16 months old..always trying to take care of him, the best she could... and then when I had Kaleb when she was three.. well lets just say I had to watch her like a HAWK cause she really thought she knew what she was doing....
But today, I really seen her in full force motherly mode.. it was so sweet and so amazing to see....

My middle son Buddy was having a little trouble going to the potty.. He wasnt feeling well as a result. She was VERY concerned and started catering to him immediatly! Brining him toys, juice, blankets, notepads to write with... she even made him a peanut butter sandwhich.
As for him, he was HAMMING IT UP... I heard him yelling for her to bring more blankets or more juice (he is 4). This cracked us up.
When I see this comming from a 4 and 5 year old. I gotta wonder how on EARTH those with the rational that we arent designed to stay home, to mother, to nurture, came up with such a notion. Its that they dont WANT to... its just that easy. I am not saying that there are those who dont HAVE to work.. because I certianly understand with the way things are today, some can not make it.. No, I am talking about those who say that staying home isnt their "thing". Or that I am a "saint" because I stay home with my kids all day and take care of my husband. This starts with little girls as soon as they can communicate (on any level) so, I am not a "Saint" I am doing what I was Designed to do. Its my "thing" because God made it that way.
The bible says in Proverbs 31:

10
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. 31
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

~these verses alone tell me what my "role" in the home should be... ugh, if only everyone else could see it through our eyes :P
