On Wednesdays we do a run together for Miracle Food Network……Slowly we learned the children’s names, Mariela, Sofia, Flora, Gabbi, Iris, Alan, Karen, Carlos, Diego, Leslie, Juana, Rodrigo, Tristian, Reina. And they began to come to the door when we knocked.
“At night, in bed, sometimes I think about stealing money from rich people to give to poor people.” Our 6 year old grandson.
I later learned they were reading Robin Hood in kindergarten. Liam was pondering a local application.
Every time I see that little car, or think about it, I remember it was Amanda who made me realize how much kids love to make presents.
The new way to hold the roof boards on requires no hook and loop fastener….and keeps the kids from knocking them off from the inside of the house.
“What do we want, a kid who is actively engaged in learning something new everyday or a bored, disaffected teenager, who is reluctantly putting in his time at school?”
…..kids in a hurry slow down, kids who think they can’t build anything learn they can, kids who think they know everything learn the don’t, and kids who need adult approval for everything learn to be a little more independent.
