So........Crafty!
I am not a crafty person. If someone asked to describe me I guarantee that "crafty" would not be in the top 10...or even top 20. You know those box kits of gingerbread houses that Walmart sells every Christmas season? I always buy them and they turn out horrible and the kids have tantrums and its just not fun. At all. I want my kids to be crafty. I want them to learn to spend free time creating something lovely and feeling proud of what they made.....but I'm a lousy craft mom. I stood in the craft section of Walmart a long time today looking at knitting needles and crochet hooks. For some reason I really want Josiah to learn to knit. I don't knit. Precious definitely doesn't want to learn....but I think it would be really cool if he could knit. He could make things when he is bored. He could be really impressive on the Today show when he is a famous athlete some day and tell about how as a child he would knit hats and scarves and give them as gifts...
