Patience

Bubba's school is big on teaching "character." I just love explaining to a child who can barely understand the concept of "bedtime" such abstract words as "perseverance." This month's topic of choice is "patience." Since I have a lot of opportunities with Bubba to illustrate the concept of "patience," he has heard the word quite a bit. I didn't realize how much until after I had told Bubba several times that it was time to clean up the Play-Doh, my smarty-pants boy sneered "Mom, use your patience!"
