I found this list on the kitchen counter this morning - I'm pretty sure it was written as a consequence (since I haven't known the kids to spontaneously write lists of all the reasons why they love their siblings... :) But I still thought that it was very sweet to read all of these things that really are true about Owen.
A couple weeks ago Porter and Owen had lessons in primary on talents, and their teachers asked me the week before for a little list of their talents. And it was so fun to take a minute to really think about the unique things each of them are great at. I couldn't find it right now, but I read recently by Lisa Clark something like this - how nurturing matters "I've bet most of my adult life on that" but how nature is just so fun - to watch and see how each child is just so much themselves.
