Our family had covid again in January after returning from our visit to meet Amelia. We took the required time off school and work and had a lovely time at home being together! After coming out of quarantine we were able to join Jack's forest club for a night hike - such a memorable experience! We headed into French Park in the dark for a hike with the Forest Club group. They encouraged us to turn off all our head lamps and flashlights and we hiked in the dark and allowed our eyes to adjust! We heard some great sounds, experienced a cold crisp night outside and the boys even did some widdling with their pocketknives at the end.
Jack and Henry got Big Life Journals for Christmas. This is a growth mindset journal that I gifted both of them with the intention of spending the next year meeting with just the two of them and working out way through the journal. My goal is to build up their self-esteem and their resilience in the crazy world! We go to a coffee shop or the tree house to do the work and so far the boys are loving it! I have really enjoyed the quiet time I get to spend with just the two boys and get to hear what goes on their heads!
