These are the famous Value Tale books I had while growing up. The most famous part being I had to write a book report on 'The Value of Responsibility'. I have saved them all these years to do the exact same thing to my kids. I still will never forget that lesson (thanks Mom and Dad!). Nathan loves to read these at night. He especially loves when Mike reads them. Each book is a tale about a famous person in history with a character trait theme to them that that person in history exemplified.
Anyway, Nathan says a couple of weeks back "I wonder what my value tale will be when I grow up Mom? I think maybe patience because I am patient with Laura or maybe kindness because I am kind to my friends and family or maybe imgaination because I make up stories and movies or maybe helpful because I help you around the house." All the while I am about to burst into tears because I can't believe what I am hearing. How about 'sweetness' because I can't seem to think of anything sweeter! I love that he is thinking of these things and that these important lessons are already staying with him. I just can't believe how blessed I am some days to be a mom and get to experience moments like this. These are the moments that keep me going. I love your sweet soul son!
