But even so, he continues to amaze my husband and I with the very grown-up things he thinks about sometimes. I sit through presentations he does and even though I help him prepare for each one, he always adds his own view which on more than one occasion has brought tears to my eyes, while I stand quietly in the back of the room. I'm so glad to hear that he makes other people "think" regardless of how he touches their lives. You are just at the beginning with your kids so enjoy them EVERY day no matter what they do. :) Pretty soon, they'll be Jason's age and you'll wonder where the years went.

In reality I was just gifted with foresight and the ability to challenge the status quo. Great post my friend !

Hang onto your hat! You're in for one wild ride with those kids! Can't wait to see what they do...and how you inspire and encourage them along the way! And as for the general topic: I think encouraging kids' endeavors and celebrating the PROCESS is imperative to helping them become the unique individuals they were created to be. Whether or not they succeed, when they engage essential parts of who they are and try something, we should applaud them. Eventually, they will hone in on their areas of interest and expertise, and they will soar. Oh, geez, Rory! Hang onto your hat! You’re in for one wild ride with those kids!
