Annie's Virtue Flower!

 When the kids were little, I created "Virtue Flowers," one per child. The virtues that a child had acquired were written on "petals" and glued to the flower. But the virtues a child was still working on were written on "petals" and kept detached until the virtue was acquired. Here are some examples: 

Clare had a LOT of virtues such as "sharing" and "including others." The one she was working on at this time was "kind voice when frustrated." 


Mary "brings joy to others" and has "prudence"; she is also working on "finding the right words when frustrated."


Jake was working on patience and being in a good mood when tired. Otherwise he had lots of virtues such as "cleaning up" and "obeying."


Now for Annie. . . Look at the picture I recently found. . . it was of Sebo as a two-year-old playing tennis in the kitchen. . . but if you look carefully, you can see Annie's virtue flower on the refrigerator. Look at the petals! 


NO PETALS are on the flower!!!! They are not even ON THE PAPER!!!!

LOL

[We love you, Annie! And what a virtuous girl you have become!]
