EDAN'S ENCOURAGEMENT




Edan and PopPop and MeMe had a good time making hand puppets out of a craft kit the last time we were visiting. We were amazed at the patience this little three year old had in putting the eyes, ears, noses and button stickers on the puppets. Some of the stickers were very small but she had the patience of an adult in handling them and putting them in the right places.
Eventually the activity grew boring and Edan announced that she didn't want to make the puppets any longer. PopPop remarked that he didn't want to do it alone, that he wanted some help from Edan.
In a voice laced with encouragement Edan said to PopPop, "You can do it by yourself," and turning to leave she finished the encouragement by saying, "Big Guy."
She is a loving and clever child, so much fun to be around. She's the best stress reliever we've found. She's a joy!
