When homeschooling there are times when I don't feel quite adequate. Sometimes the school day feels like chaos. Other times it seems to be going well. On this particular day, I was looking around our schoolroom (which is also the playroom and guest room) and noticing the mess, seeing the things I still needed to finish, and basically feeling like things were a bit chaotic. Then Seth walked in and everything changed. "Wow! This is a perfect homeschool picture!
Zoie's painting, you're reading to Kylia, and Adalie is doing her work at the table." He continued for a short period to praise my teaching. With those comments, Seth flipped my day from chaotic craziness to delight. He helped me to see things a bit differently. His praise turned my day around in an instant, and well, he made me smile.
