Compliments

In Asha's kindergarten class they have a compliment chart. Every time a classmate gives someone a compliment they get to put a star on the chart. When it is all filled up they get a treat as a class. What a fun idea! Compliments are great! Especially ones given from the heart. Yesterday someone paid me a compliment. She said that our kids are good and well-disciplined. I chuckled to myself! Though, I thought that was really kind, especially since I have many days that I feel like aliens have overtaken our kids. We all need compliments! They give us encouragement to keep going and hope for the future!

Did that person say your kids are well discipled? or disciplined? Just curious.

That's great that someone said that to you. I got a criticism of how I parent A and it stung for weeks.

My Dearest Friend...Just so you know, I have your BLOG saved to my favorites, and at night when the kids are asleep and Mike has read himself to sleep reading Frog & Toad to James, I check my Ebay and I read your blog. I am glad you have this - it is a nice way to feel connected to your world even though we are miles away!
Love,
Jenny
