First off, let me be clear, that me 'giving encouragement to my children' is not a special occasion just for this Giving project. I give them encouragement everyday! But today was a lazy Saturday for us while Jordan was at work and I was trying to wrap up a million things for the big superhero party next weekend, as well as finish painting the house. Anyways, these sweet boys (at least 90% of the time!) of mine are in such a learning phase right now. We've been working with Austin alot on his handwriting these days and that kid loves to write, draw, and 'make comic books'. He's constantly stealing paper out of my office! Constant encouragement is what that kid needs right now, because he can get frustrated easily when he can't get his letters right.
Chase loves to draw as well, and is always asking for me to draw a piggy and a puppy for him. Then he draws one right by them. He's also big on #'s right now, maybe thanks to a few too many episodes of Team Umi Zoomi. The other day I bought a new clock and I sat there and watched him count each of the numbers over and over.
Encouragement goes both ways. By giving to them, they learn to dish it out as well. Last night we were moving the china cabinet so that I could paint the wall behind it, and Austin wanted to sweep up the dust/dirt that was revealed. I told him he was the best sweeper in the world, and he proceeded to tell me I was the best painter.
Love these boys to pieces!
