(He's 9. I'm petty sure I didn't even know the word chemist when I was 9.) :o) It's pretty easy to think of things to encourage him . . .<br /><br />But our current middle child is harder -- he loves Legos, other kids his age, and being goofy. Maybe a career in stand-up comedy? Comedy that appeals to 7-year-olds? We try to make sure he has chances to be in plays, etc. which he loves.<br /><br />Our daughter loves arts & crafts -- easy for me to go along with those!<br /><br />I think you're doing just what you should do by noticing what they love. I heard a good teaching once about the verse "train a child up in the way *he* should go." The emphasis was on discovering the way God had in mind for each individual child. Like you're doing. :o) <br />NancyPeter and Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329947206142706470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32101429.post-81959809860739480162010-04-16T14:16:14.964-05:002010-04-16T14:16:14.964-05:00Aren't boys great? It could be worse, my boys ...Aren't boys great? It could be worse, my boys caught and brought into my house a giant water bug. Google it, it's nasty. It then escaped this week and THANK GOD it got into Daniel's rat's cage, who ate it. Yes, a rat. Then two night's ago, all three boys (including husband in "boys" here), waded into Mission Creek at 9 PM to have a fish fight with suckers. Picked 'em up with their bare hands and threw them at each other. Bizarre. Anytime you want to go to the mall, shop and have a diet coke, give me a call! :)Molly Broderickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255111785581174115noreply@blogger.com
