Daydreaming

I was just reading blogs and thought - Gee, mine is kind of depressing. so I was dreaming up ways to make it better - anyway, I'm not at home right now but I'm looking at cute ideas.

One thing I have to share. Our primary is doing a scripture treasure hunt and the first clue for 1st Nephi was sacrifice. So we've been talking about what it means to sacrifice. The other day my son came running in the house with his cousin chasing him because they both wanted to same gun to play with. In the end, the fightings stopped and Danny came in the living room and told Grandma, "I let Cooper play with the gun. I sacrificed." He was so pleased with himself for remembering to sacrifice. Both kids were happy and went back outside to play. Funny how sometimes your kids just surprise you when you don't think they are listening.

I'm learning to let my kids do for themselves and solve their own problems (with guidance). My friends all say their kids are independent because they are lazy but I say it's good parenting!
