Confirmation of my parenting skills

Today, I took the kids to the reservior. I wanted to create memorable moments for them. We walked onto a fishing pier at Goshen Springs. It was so cute to watch my little girl tiptoe onto the pier. After leaving the pier, we went to Lakeshore Park to feed the ducks. It was so very warming to watch them feed the ducks. However, I noticed something. One duck was being hasseled and not being allowed to eat. It was agressively made to leave the mainstream feeding session. My soccer pro made a point to make sure he threw bread far enough to the duck to ensure that it at. He didn't want to leave the duck out. Then I realized something. I make sure that whatever I do for one child I include the other child in some shape or form. It was amazing that this simple practice and value has made an impression on my children, and they are actively practicing it. For a quick moment, I felt proud of my ability to be a parent. I must be doing something right.

Our actions speak so much louder than our words. Your actions are obviously screaming compassion, fairness, and equality. What a good Mom you are!
