I Can!

Can't is a word I'm trying to eliminate from, not only my vocabulary, but also my children's. I want my darlings to know that they CAN do anything with determination, love, and faith. So Zoe and I created "I Can" books yesterday. We started with a little survey revealing some things that Zoe can do. This helped get her and I thinking about what we might include in our books. Then we drew pictures on each page of things we can do. When either of us begins to feel a little negativity about our abilities this is something we can refer to in helping us bring back some positive energy.

I cut computer paper in half and stapled three sheets together down the fold.
You could easily create your own.

"I can hold chickens."
"I can go to school."
"I can write."
"I can love my children."
"I can hike."
