the impressions we make on our kids....

I really try to be sensitive to other people's feelings, thoughts and beliefs. When I helped teached foster parent training I learned alot of skills to assist with that. Well, it is so apparent to me that my 5 year old little boy is picking up on it too. He is definitely a very sweet and intuitive child. The other day we were driving home from meeting his dad and I had my niece Chloe with me. She is about 19 months old. Tristan was helping Chloe with her snacks and her drink when she became restless. It was about a two hour trip total. She started fussing when we got close to home. Tristan could not find her "pie pie" (pacifier) because she had dropped down out of his reach and site. She was crying and he said sweetly and softly, "Oh Baby Chloe, I know it is frustrating but we will be home in a minute, it will be okay!" I smiled with such pride and giggled and he was like what momma? I told him i was proud of him for being so nice to Chloe. He gave me five and when we got home and her out of the car she was good to go! She finally started saying my name and she calls me "A-knee" I love it! Kids are the best. I am so grateful for the children in my life and I hope that one of these days all adults can do the same.
