Time for a haircut!/ Too many friends

When I let his hair grow for three months over the summer, this is how tall it got!!!

He loves tall hair.  And he wishes it would hang in his eyes.  Sorry, Son.

Side note:  We feel so lucky to have such a friendly boy for a son!   

Today's example:
Son: I have too many friends!
Mom: You have too many friends?
Son: At recess they all call me to play with them and I don't know who to pick. 
Mom: That sounds like a lucky problem to have!
Son: Yah!

Son: I know how to fix my problem.
Mom: How?
Son: I can pick a friend for each day of the week and play on that day.
Mom: That's a good idea.  And maybe you could pick a game that everyone can play.
Son:  That's a great idea!  Boston says we can play 'duck duck goose'
Mom: Do you remember how to play that one?
Son, exasperated:  Mom!  Of course I do!

    
The more we can appreciate his strengths, the happier we all will be.

I wish I would only focus on my strengths!  Too often I only focus on my weaknesses and then I feel cruddy.

So today, only think about strengths.  Worry about the weaknesses some other day.

Love,
Alison
