Little life lessons..

"Lunch time, Owen! Time to put the buttons away!"
"It's too much."
"Well, I did tell you it was a bad idea to throw them all over the kitchen, remember? I said, 'If you throw them all, it will be a big job to pick them all up.'"
"A big job."
"Yes, it is a big job, but I know you can do it!" This last uttered with a beaming smile. Owen seems less than convinced... (She's really going to make me do it. Boo.)

However, he gets down to it...

After all, if you don't take on the Big Tasks in life, you don't get the Big Satisfactions, either.

"Good for you, Owen! It was a big job, and you did it all by yourself!" Because we KNOW how important "I can do it byself!" is these days...

Look at that smile! The boy is proud of his job well done.
