I am thankful that Duncan is growing into such a helpful boy. It is so easy to focus on the negative. That’s what I excel at. Sometimes I don’t see all the obedient, helpful things he does because I am so focused on how disobedient he is.
Two examples of Duncan’s helpfulness: I was visiting a friend without children Duncan’s age. Her (older) daughter brought up a box of toys from the basement. Duncan played quietly and didn’t interrupt during our almost hour long visit. When I went to go, my friend said to Duncan,”Oh, did you clean up all those toys yourself?” Sure enough, he had put all the toys back into the box and put the lid back on. The boy knows how to clean up after himself!
#2 Today Duncan was trying to get my attention. He wanted to play a game. I suggested he hunt for treasure in the car. (The van was still full of all sorts of junk leftover from our vacation). To my surprise, he gleefully, joyfully brought out three bags of “treasure” from the van.
He is a sweet boy. I love my little son.
