It is always heartwarming to see one of your kids working through a problem on their own. You can really get a glimpse of what they are truly capable of without any parental help. It is amazing to see these moments, and nothing makes a parent more pleased than to witness such situations. Just the other day, Eryn read a random title out loud from the tv. She didn’t need any help. Nor did she hesitate even a second in trying to figure out what the words were. To watch Grant try to figure out how the remote works, or how to open some sort of contraption is nothing short of watching a genius at work. This may sound trite to some, but when you witness your own offspring and see their potential it is a miracle in and of itself. Just this morning another one of these small miracles occurred, and Sharel was able to witness it unfolding. Rachel had just gone into the bathroom, and after a few moments Sharel walked by the door and heard Rachel talking to herself. “You can do it!” Rachel declared through a strained voice. “You can do it!” Seems Rachel had a stubborn turd and was pep talking herself to expel the aforementioned turd. As I said, there is nothing quite as satisfying as seeing one of your children become more independent and take matters into their own hands.
P.S. everything came out ok in the end.
