Today


B was Coloring on Some Papers for School.


Youngest Brother, J, Decides He would like to Color, too.


Grabs a Marker,


and a Page,


and Happily Colors Away.


On B's School Page.


B was Quite Upset and let Little Brother Know.


J Leaves the Room,


Heartbroken and Crying.


I Watched B to See What He Would Do,


Being so Angry about his Ruined Schoolwork.


He thought a Moment, Grabbed a Paper and a Pen,


and Drew Three Pictures.


Then Called 4 yr Old J in,


and Said,


"Here, You can Color on These"


And Once Again, He Happily Colored Away.


My Heart Melted and My Eyes Watered and I Had to let B Know that


I was Proud of Him,


and I Loved Him.

Man, I need that kind of self-control. That was called "responding" instead "reacting." Nice work B.
