One of the things that I love about my kids right now is that they love to show me all their tricks... One of the phrases that I hear what seems like one thousand times a day is, "Mama, look at me." Sometimes Josiah will ask me to look at him and then he'll do something totally silly like tap his nose with his thumb... what I love about it is that he just enjoys showing me stuff... I think that one of his "love languages" might be words of encouragement... He just thrives off of me telling him that I am proud of him, or that he did a good job doing something... He lights up when I encourage him with my words... And so I love encouraging him... And I love soaking up this time in my life when he cares about what I think and he loves showing me his tricks...
