Nervously I watch as she teeters on the ladder on her way up the jungle gym. Never does her confidence waver as she slowly works her way up to the slide.

He is a little more hesitant. Always the cautious one he takes his time doing new things during his play. Yet he knows what he wants and he will get it. No one can tell him what to do or when to do it. He loves his sister and he protects her.

She trusts quickly. She forgives easily. She loves to have fun. She is genuinely friendly. She is a great 'mommy' to her 'babies'. She dances in public when people are looking. She sings... LOUD! She smiles often. She is a friend to anyone who comes her way. She loves to learn.

He prays about everything on his mind. He tells me he loves me often. He says please and thank you. He has a great imagination and is always exercising that. He loves to read. He loves his family and watches out for them. He is smart.

There are amazing lessons to be learned from these kids of mine!
