I became stuck in the deep snow this evening on our way to deliver a meal to a couple from church. Man comes to pull me out and his machine runs out of fuel behind my van. The man's friend gets two shovels and he and Levi begin shoveling out the snow from where I was stuck. I was able to drive out forward, yahoo!!
Today made me realize how much my son has grown up. He carries, lifts, hauls, plows snow, keeps the fire going and the list could go on and on. There are so many things that he will not allow the girls and I to do. He insists upon doing those manly jobs. And yes, I just said manly jobs.
He remained level headed throughout the entire stuck situation. He shoveled until the job was finished. He is learning diligence and care.
Funny. Even now at 4, mine insists he is the "man of the house" when his daddy is at work. They sure do grow up fast.
ReplyDeleteFine young man!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a blessing to hear. I love to see young men stepping up to do the manly jobs that need to be done. :)
ReplyDeleteMy little man already swears he is the man of the house when his daddy is at work, and he tries to protect me in his 4 year old manner.
ReplyDeleteBtw...I hope my little man grows up to be like yours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to see your children growing in character.
