When you thought I wasn't looking....

A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my

first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately

wanted to paint another one.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a

stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind

to animals.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my

favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little

things can be the special things in life..


When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a

prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always

talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a

meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I

learned that we all have to help take care of each

other.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of

your time and money to help people who had nothing,

and I learned that those who have something should

give to those who don't.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care

of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have

to take care of what we are given.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you

handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't

feel good, and I learned that I would have to be

responsible when I grow up.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come

from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things

hurt, but it's all right to cry.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you

cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.


When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of

life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and

productive person when I grow up.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and

wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when

you thought I wasn't looking.'


LITTLE EYES SEE A
LOT..

Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, & friend)

influences the life of a child.


How will you touch the life of someone today?

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.


Didn't know a one year old could roll their eyes...

This is honestly a dirty look caught on camera. I had to ask myself..where does she learn that. Then I looked into the mirror and realized that I can give one mean dirty look. Guess they do watch everything we do.
