I was thinking about this a lot yesterday. Leah watches Sarah and I so intently. She will do whatever we does. If Sarah squints her eyes, so will Leah. If Sarah sticks out her tongue, so will Leah. If I pop my finger out of my mouth, Leah will mimic it. She is getting to the age that we will really need to be careful what we do, say, watch or listen to. Then I saw this video on a friend's blog. It is insightful and scary.

It is true that children see and children do. I hope Leah learns many things from watching us and not just from us explaining it to her. I hope she learns peace, love and charity. I hope she learns to respect Mother Earth and all it's creatures. I hope she learns to find balance in life and is always grateful. I hope she learns that she is always the master of her own attitude. I hope she learns that she can accomplish anything and have her cake and eat it too. I hope she learns to properly prioritize her wants, needs and values. I hope she learns to find compassion for everyone as Christ would. I hope she learns to be more like her Mother than her Father. I hope she learns to value and respect money. I hope she learns...I hope I can teach.
