Teaching is Love
August 17, 2006
Via PHAT Mommy I found out that Karen at Chookooloonks claimed today as Love Thursday.
I shot this picture at the Children’s Museum the other day as Dylan taught Thomas about putting gas in the play car. I love how patient Dylan is with Thomas, every day. He has never shown any sort of jealousy toward his little brother, and I hope he continues to be the laid-back, easy-going kid he is now. He is a wonderful teacher to Thomas, and to me as well. I’m trying to learn the infinite patience Dylan has, but it’s taking too long.

Thanks for the link.
Isn’t it funny how every Children’s Museum is kind of the same? And what is it with teaching kids how to pump gas? Is this to teach ecology or training for a future job or what?
Happy love day!

I would think that he is learning that patience from you…..

I’ve driven those cars at our Museum (which is not as good as yours at all) it was fun. They used to sell them in the gift shop for around $85 cdn.

Sweet. I love how so many people posted family and kid pix to show their love. I did, too.

Thanks Karen! Both Karens, in fact.
And I do love that photo of your boys. Watching siblings play together, especially the patience shown by the elder sibling, is really special. I’m an elder sibling, and I know I didn’t have that kind of patience with my younger brother.
