On Tuesday we sat down and watched President Obama's address to school children since our very limited basic cable includes C-span. We enjoyed watching it as a family and Thing 1 and Thing 2 seemed to be inspired in their own ways to do a good job in school (like any of us were worried).
Today Thing 2 (our first grader) has a friend over to play, and I'm not sure what was going on, but I overheard Thing 2 saying:
"Well, there was this really good basketball player--I mean really good--and he didn't even make it on his school basketball team. But now he's one of the best players ever. And J.K. Rowling, she tried to publish Harry Potter twelve times before she finally did."
It's nice to see the message sinking in.

Cute! I love those failure/success stories!
LOL! Thanks for the post, Sweetie. I like being filled in on what I miss when it's my day in the clinic. :)
So cute. They didn't broadcast the speech here. I wish I heard it. Sounds inspiring.
Find it online, Terah. It's worth it.
That kid is a literal sponge! He doesn't miss a beat!
My grandson is a brain. So is his sister. I am not biased at all.
ok I am biased but what I said is true.
