In all honesty, I've sort of been dreading it. I watch my brothers and their wives run their kids in a million different directions and it all looks so... exhausting. Thank you for reminding me that their are also so many other positive things to come with it, too. New friendships for the boys, and us. Of course wonderful life lessons, but the thing I most look forward to is seeing their little personalities blossom out in the "real" world when mom and dad aren't the center of it anymore. Thanks for helping me see the bright side instead of the dread. :)Jennyhttp://findingjoyandsharingbeauty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865715771666702322.post-10463219191887961802013-10-20T23:06:34.733-07:002013-10-20T23:06:34.733-07:00Aw, Cassadie, I feel sad for the days you were try...Aw, Cassadie, I feel sad for the days you were trying hard in school sport teams and feeling you were failing or not being good enough :-(. I had those days - where I was always one of the last of the class to be chosen when we had to split the class in two for a sports match. But as an adult, I am probably sportier than every other person in those classes; and I climb walls, and I climb mountains. And sometimes I'd like to sit those kids down, who chose me last because they thought I couldn't, and say: Look, it was probably just confidence - and if you'd given me a chance, it could have been different.<br /><br />So you have a different resolution to mine, you get to encourage the small ones from the sidelines and help them build their confidence! Also cool! <br /><br />(PS Thank you for the amazing comment on my last blog - it means/meant so much to me. It's going into my "keep for encouragement" folder for blue days).<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />AliJust mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546984503732753891noreply@blogger.com
