A friend of mine once told me that her mother-in-law felt like she could write a book on parenting after her first three children. I can kind of relate to that - EXCEPT that I know our kids are fabulous to begin with. Any impact we have on them is minimal - they're just, plain old good people!FOR EXAMPLE, we were at a church picnic yesterday. Lo and behold, out comes the water balloons for a Water Balloon Toss. Let's see ... giant cooler of water balloons and tons of sugared up, excited kids means giant water balloon fight. Right?! As I looked upon the other kids running and screaming, pelting one another with their water bombs I noticed our children were missing. Scanning the park, I saw Abby and Noah - off to the side of the ruckus - gently tossing a water balloon to one another.
I wasn't there, hovering over them yelling caution and threats about getting wet. I actually didn't care if they pelted balloons at one another or not. They decided on their own to play a little game. Really, are they for real?! I'm so proud of those two for being brilliant, wonderful children. They really are a joy to both Tracy and me.
