My Thoughts and Feelings: Turn on the LIGHTS!! - Where is the COLOR!? - Why are the teachers all so OLD!? - If your library is so big, why aren't the shelves FULL of books!? ...
The Boys' Expressions: Mom, this library is HUGE, you've Got to see it! It's Amazing!! - WOW! This gym floor is so nice and shiny, it smells good too. I can't wait to play on it! - Well, it looks like all of the kids are younger then me, so that will be fun! - LOOK, my teacher has the PERFECT books for me (Civil War and Planet Earth). - Papa! My teacher's name is Mrs. Harden, she looks like a Grandma! he, he, he. :) - Mom! There will be a lot of kids from the other apartment's on our bus, won't that be GREAT! ...
There is power in allowing our children to clear up our negativity and find the positive when we struggle to find it. There is also power in keeping our mouth's shut and allowing them to only see their innocent perspectives. There is Joy in allowing our children's goodness lead the way!
How grateful I am for the lesson's my children reminded me of tonight.

Sorry I haven't been on top of my blogging. I agree - their perspective is often much better than my own. McKinley had a Mrs Harden last year - though she was not old :)
