Just a little journaling and some praise for my S. He is such a good kid...
Brought my S to scouts last night before dinner. In scouts they were doing a little art project. I was helping him paint when out of the blue he says "My dad is a genious with art!". He knows just how to get at your heart. We have definitely identified his primary Love Language as words of affirmation. At the end of scouts he got a little easter egg with a super ball in it. We got home and had dinner as a family (something we always do), and were sitting around talking after we finished. I took the egg from S and was teasing him a little by keeping it away from him. I had my hands wrapped around it and when he wasn't looking, dropped it in my pocket. I opened my hands to show him it had disappeared. As he was looking for it, I produced it from behind his neck. He was astounded. "Do it again, dad!" I proceeded to then make it appear in the dogs ear, out of my daughters hair and then from my son's ear. The look of amazement on my son's face was priceless and we were all almost in tears laughing.
Definitely one of those priceless family memories.
