Well Rounded...

I hope that our children can be well rounded.  I hope that they get the experiences from living in the country but we can still offer them a love of culture and help them excel in learning and education.

So it is important to me that I write down an experience, or a couple of experiences that we had one week back in October.

We receive compliments quite often about what an outstanding kid Brig is but this particular week we received two very different kinds of compliments that just helped us remember what a great boy Brig is!

The first: Kelly is a heavy equipment operator and has done quite a bit of work for Cory's parents, our neighbors and us. Well Brig loves all things tractor and farm- so he has spent hours watching him work. And they have developed a friendship. For example, one day Kelly brought Brig a container full of old trucks and tractors that he played with as a child. Well, one day Kelly was doing some work for our neighbors and saw Cory outside.

He stopped and proceeded to tell us that we have quite the boy and that he is really something special. The way he handles a shovel is very impressive and quite advanced and that he really enjoys talking to him.

The second: Brig was asked to give a talk in the primary program this year. I don't want to sound to proud or anything...but he nailed it. He kind of stole the show and was definitely a favorite. He was confident and eloquent and one of the youngest children. It melted me...and I was not alone.  The primary chorister...a very poised and talented musician- who is beautiful to boot...went out of her way to tell us that Brig did outstanding and was so impressive and she hoped we knew how special Brig was.

 

 

We sure do love this well-spoken, handy-working kid of ours!
