Just when we thought.....

Just when we thought our children were not listening to us, they surprise us.

From the time our children (our precious babies) are born we are telling "to do" or "not to do" "this and that". We out and out TELL them. We make suggestions. We give them advice. We show them "how to" or "how not to" do something.

There are times when our children roll their eyes and make sarcastic remarks when we talk to them. "I know. I know. You do not need to keep telling me." We may think (remember - what we think may not really be) our children are not paying attention (did we really know what was on the other side of his growing brain?) but then later on in life they surprise us.

Our son keep surprising us. He really did learn from the lessons we thought. He really did hear us when we spoke to him. He really is a wonderful adult.
