One of the more rewarding things about parenting is happening in our home right now. Inara goes all day saying things such as: "Good job, mom and dad!" , "That was so nice of you!" , "You are so good at doing that!" or "Do you need help with that?" and the list goes on. It especially makes me smile when she comes into the room, asks if everything is going ok, and then leaves again after I answer that it is. It's good to be reminded that kids reflect everything we do and say right back at us. Now I just wonder where Inara's stubbornness comes from...
