Little eyes are watching

 

They look up to you, and admire your abilities.. and want to dress just like you.


They come to you to help them out.  


You set good examples of manners and take good care of them.


You don't look down on them, you include them in playtimes.


You show them how to have fun and get right in there with them.


You show that you are willing to stop in the middle of your fun to help others out.
Even a long walk on HOT sand to take them potty.


They've learned by watching and experiencing from you and they're starting to be the big guy in some situations now and they are caring and patient because someone was to them.


They're watching you get together and have good clean fun without rudeness.  They learned that who won didn't matter as much as having a friendly fun time together.


They're learning that you carry people when they need help.


Sometimes they're literally watching you... and seeing that staying with a tough project pays off in the end.


They're learning skills and safety and appreciate having a chance to be just like you.


They're learning that just because it's work it doesn't have to be dull!


They're watching and learning how to be just like you.

Thanks for giving them so many good examples.


Bubble philosophy


When you sigh about a trouble
 it grows double every day.  
When you laugh about a trouble
it's a bubble, blown away.

Fleeting

Some moments are touching and sweet.
(It has taken Whittaker 8 months to be willing to sit beside Emerson for more than a moment.  He does adore and love his baby brother.... but he prefers to do it from a distance!)


Of course... some moments are still fleeting. 


I expect that soon they will be buddies keeping me on my toes.
