Inspiration 03
Sophie inspired me today.
She snatched a toy from a friend today. She asked for it several times but her friend didn’t respond so she just snatched it. Her friend got really upset and she got really upset and her friend left. Anyways, we had a good talk with her about it and said she needed to apologize. Well, over dinner, we reminded her again and I offered to go with her to apologize but she got off her chair and said, "it’s ok, I can do it by myself" and went over and gave a beautiful apology and they hugged.
I watched her from afar and was really proud of her. If only I can apologize with such grace and humility.

Thank you Pris for your affirmation. It’s just so hard to teach humility and sometimes you wonder if the kids really get it. But it’s really so much easier for them than for us.
