So, my wife was telling our kids (I was there) that this month is the month of Thanksgiving. That we need to think of the things we are thankful for. She had the kids start, then she shared one to me.
She said that she was thankful for precious moments. And what makes her awesome is that she shares them with me and her words are filled with love and awe. She said that our 2 year old girl hit our 3 year old boy and hurt him. She made the girl say sorry to the boy, which we always accompany with a hug and typically a kiss as well, so she did. Then she had the girl give the boy a candy corn, and come back and get one of her own. The girl proceeded to go to the couch where the boy was lying down and jumped up there with him. My wife was ready for the next hit, but instead the boy invited the girl to come down and give him more hugs and kisses...not because he was hurt, but because they both wanted to love each other.
My wife is awesome because she is encouraging the goodness that exists in all children.
