You know how you spend lots of time fighting with your kids to get them to practice or do the things they need to do? Please tell me it isn't just me! Our kids had some successes lately and it was great to watch them feel a sense of accomplishment and pride for all of their hard work. I won't lie to you... I felt like I'd accomplished something after all the "encouraging" I do to keep them on task.
Sam finished his first set of books for his piano lessons and earned the theme from Star Wars music from his teacher. We're hearing it a lot! His teacher had to laugh because Sam paused during his latest lesson to explain how piano can be really hard, but when you just practice it gets easier and easier. Hmmm... where has he heard that before?
He also finally earned his green belt at Taekwon Do after 8 months of practicing twice/week. It was a big accomplishment for him and it was fun to see him work hard to earn it.
Grace is in first grade this year and entered an art project into the Reflections contest at school. She won 2nd place for her self-portrait. It was fun to go to the award ceremony and watch her receive her ribbons. She worked hard on sketching and painting. We were proud of her.
Keep up the good work, guys!
