Every parent-teacher conference I had this year for these two truly
warmed my heart. Both class teachers gushed about their kindness toward
others in the class and the leadership example they both were. Maelee
was consistently the one her teacher would count on to help out in the
classroom or help out with a new classmate, and Lilee was consistently
the one her teachers would rely on to dote on any kiddo who may be
having a rough day. While the selfishness, bickering, and often "wild"
behavior is on full display at home, it was always so encouraging to
hear that so many of the character qualities we work on and talk about
at home are actually getting through to them out in the "real"(-ish)
world! Very humbling and we are very grateful to God to see fruit being
produced in their little hearts!!!
Now
that summer break is in full swing the sibling bickering has hit an all
time high so it's good to think back on those meetings for
encouragement!
