This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.

The "Only" Child
Yep, we got "dusted" with two or three inches of snow overnight. Come back later for photos! The kids are all outside. There is going to be a run on hot bath and shower water, so I am going to get my shower right after I finish this post.
As I was getting Mau's jacket on her, Sara shouted,"That's my jacket!" I said, "Sara, we have plenty of jackets for everyone, there is no need to be selfish." She replied, "Yes, I know I am selfish, but I am not the only one! There are lots of other only ones!"
This just proves my theory that we have eight children, each one of whom is convinced that they are our only child!

The reasoning behind that sentence of hers escapes me.
shoprat,
I long ago figured out that you just have to go with the flow!
We say of our niece, she's not just an old child, she's THE only child.
daddio,
Yeah, but it is amazing how a child can get that concept when surrounded by seven other only children!
Bob,
What types of things do you do to build "teamwork" among your children? That might be worth an entire post if you can find the time.
