Things I Love--Hands

Today, especially, I need to practice focusing on the things I love about my kids. I'm going with a hand theme today, since those are the first thoughts that came to mind.

Josiah
~I love that he wants to hold my hand as he is falling asleep in bed.
~I love how he covers his mouth with both hands when he thinks something is really funny.
~I love how he wants lotion/oil on his hands so he can rub it on his belly or hair.
~I love that he always has hand gestures for certain phrases, like "I don't know" and "all gone"
~I love how he sometimes picks food up with his hands to put it on his fork.
~I love the way he fold his little hands when we pray.

Elizabeth
~I love how she so gently rubs my arm or hair when she's in a cuddly mood.
~I love how she gets so excited about having nail polish. (Wish she would stop sucking her thumb so we could do it again!)
~I love that she almost always is willing to lend Josiah a hand.
~I love that her hand movements are just naturally graceful and feminine.
~I love that she has learned some sign language and enjoys using it...and making up her own.
~I love how she likes holding hands with her friends and her brother.
