Gingerbread Cookies

Jari made Gingerbread cookies with the girls tonight. While decorating them Charlotte exclaimed,"Oh look at what Hazel is doing! She is doing such a good job. It looks wonderful." I was real happy to hear this encouragement coming from Charlotte.  Then came the follow up commentary as it set in what she had just done, "Well it's not quite as good as mine but it's ok...."

Sigh. Its just hard to be second place at anything for her.

We are getting there. Just have to keep faith our counseling to be kind will yield results.

I am loving the 2000 word tale of enthusiasm and personal satisfaction told by the 2nd and 4th pictures (of Hazel). Those eyes just make me grin and chuckle all over. Thanks SO much for posting these pictorial essays of "Growing Up Learning and Loving the Diversity of Life in a Beautiful World". ºÜº
