We are having so much fun with the grandchildren this week. Both children play on a "coach-pitch" baseball team, so there were two of those games - and our granddaughter missed both games because she was in dress rehearsals for her ballet, Hansel and Gretel.
Last night we took Zachary to his game, then to a couple of innings at the Winthrop University baseball game, and then to dinner at our favorite spot, the Dutch Mill! What fun!
Little Jessica was in her first performance last night - the family is attending the Sunday afternoon performance - so last night, son Randy took her to perform. They called on the way home and she was so excited! Jessica is almost 7 years old and of course, her mommy had her all made up for the show. She said, "Joan-Joan, I look like a grown up!" lol I said, "do you think I would recognize you?" She said, "No, I am very grown up." Delightful! Last night she felt like a princess. Her mom had bought her a t-shirt from the ballet and had it folded on her pillow with a ribbon around it when she got home. And of course her good daddy had flowers for her at the end of the show!
I am always touched by the love that surrounds these two children - how they bless our lives, for sure -- but I think of children who never hear those positive words of love, who are never encouraged, supported in their interests or boosted along the way. I am thankful that our grandchildren are so blessed.
Do you know a child you could sincerely compliment this week? Please do. The child may be desperate for positive words -- and your words could make such a huge difference.
Every child is special and every child deserves our support!
