The confidence of a kindergartner is such a wonderful thing. Everything is exciting. Everything is an opportunity. It's too bad we're not all willing to tackle life's challenges with such enthusiasm and total lack of fear of failure.
Sydney mentioned last night that in gym class, if they're really good, they'll get to have free game day. Hearing this, I asked, "So did your shoes fit okay today?"
Yes, Sydney confirmed. She'd gotten her shoes back. And what did she do with the one that was too small?
"I returned it to its rightful owner."
While reading a story with her recently on the couch, Sydney stretched out her legs and accidentally knocked a toy off the coffee table. Wanting to rescue the toy before Gus could get it, my high tech child asked, "Mom, can you pause the story for just a minute?
Meanwhile, mistakes? There's just no such thing.

While making a birthday card for her friend Addie a few weeks ago, Sydney accidentally misspelled a word. No problem! "I'll just turn it into a big flower," Sydney announced. "She won't notice at all."
