No Sacrifices, Just Committed!

Gold Star Moment #3

Posted on | October 12, 2008 |

I’m not sure what it is about men and their grills, but this may be how it all begins. N.B. always likes to help Daddy with his work around the house. This is great father son time as well as Daddy’s chance to participate in the homeschool experience. A few of the other projects he has worked on with Dad are making a repurposed gun and planting a tree. It’s amazing how attentive N.B. (until he decides on another name - he has to process much before making a decision) becomes when he needs to be. Nothing says pay attention like be careful so you don’t catch on fire. He headed to the warning and was very methodical and careful to ensure the safety of himself as well as others around him.

Ms. Minna Beana is in true form here. At the age of two, she put in her order for a horse. Hmm…it may be another ten years before that order is filled. I hear all orders are being placed on backorder. Meanwhile, she gets to ride the horses of friends. We attended a birthday party for the son of a family friend and they taught the children horse riding etiquette and also gave them a ride around the bend. Minna Beana listened carefully, spoke softly around the horse and was sure to stand on its side so it could see her and not get spooked. Minna Beana is a natural. She may get that horse, one day.

There is nothing else to do other than to praise my little artistic boy. Schubaboobaly sees a blank canvas and to him that is a place that needs art. Again, you ask where I was. I just don’t know. So, rather than be upset, I’m going to praise the beautiful artwork he did and secretly hope that when he has children, that they too freely express their true spirit on any walls and doors in his home.

I love watching my children grow up, but sometimes it brings tears to my eyes.

These are just a few of their Gold Star Moments this week.
