Either I need to expose my kids to more things, or I need to continue harboring them from certifiable Awesome.
Things I’m Good At: Stirring, Removing Tags, and Stuff
I think I am going try to keep them from society as much as possible because, right now… they think I am THE BOMB! I love this about me them.
For example, I was cutting a tag off a scarf. My Olivia (7) ooozed: Mom. You are SO creative!!!
Me: Why?
Olivia: Because you do things like cut off tags and stuff.
Joel (10): Yeah. You ARE creative, mom.
Me: Oh, and remember, you have also said I am really good at stirring.
My girls are so envious of my stirring skills.
Olivia: Yeah. You are REALLY good at stirring.
I decided to let the kids have some of their own ego-build-time. I’m a giver. I asked, “How are you guys creative? I mean I know how you are creative, but in what ways do you think YOU are creative?”
Olivia (7): I can knit. You can’t knit. I can teach you!
Joel (10): Video games and technology. I helped my teacher with the computer yesterday. She wanted to put words on a picture… but it didn’t work.
Lucy (4): I am good at Lego building! I can build stairs and houses and people…
Dang it. I hate competition. I figure I won’t teach them how to stir. Then I will at least have something.
