Kids are so resourceful

It is amazing to me how smart kids are and how they can think on their own even when they are really young. 


Shaylin was sitting in her carseat reading a book and decided she needed something to hold up her book for her. So she pulled down the shade cover on her carseat and used it as a book holder. I was amazed, she was so cute and proud of herself.

Are Kids Really the Selfish Ones?

Isn't it funny that we sometimes have the preconceived notions that most kids are selfish. I mean, yes a lot of kids have that possessive part of them that comes out when someone tries to take something from them and they do say "mine". But where did they learn that from? When your child has something that they are not supposed to be playing with, what do we as parents say? "No, you cannot play with that, that is mommy's". And then we wonder where they get that from...


The other day I was watching Shaylin play with her cousin, and I was so proud. She was just as happy pushing her cousin on the little truck as she was to be riding it. Her cousin on the other hand would have no part in pushing Shaylin, she would only ride the truck. Granted her cousin is a few months younger than her, but it still made me as a mother feel like somewhat of a success.


So what I realized from this is that kids are probably less selfish than we think they are and we as the adults are possibly the more selfish ones...
