It's easy to get caught up in correcting the kids, noticing all the little things that aren't quite right or that I think should be done differently but there are also those moments when my heart melts. When I see them doing something not unusual but just being the amazing kids that they are. Like these two snippets that have made me smile recently:
Leaving dinner at a restaurant the other night, Ben automatically held the door for all of us and then held it for the whole party behind us as well. Not a huge gesture but a little sign that he's thinking about others.
Julia offered to help Ben with his reading last week. As I walked by the room I overheard her explaining "That says 'her's. When there is a comma in the air like that, the 's' goes with the word before it." I love that she called it a "comma in the air" and took the time to explain it rather than just reading the word for him.
