Yesterday we attended baby girl's Christmas Concert in school. I had asked her what her role will be and she said she was the narrator of the Christmas story and I laughed. I told her am so proud of her and that I laughed because when we did the Christmas story when I was in nursery, I was no where near the narrator I was a masked sheep. We had a good laugh that day as we drove home. I thought to myself, how life has changed and how we need to provide our kids with opportunities to learn and build their confidence.We need to applaud our kids, tell them how beautiful they are, tell them how talented they are. Let them grow up knowing their strengths and areas they need to improve. That is my heart's desire for our kids. Let them be exposed to life's opportunities.
Samara turns 6 in January and is reading well and communicates very articulately in English. When I was her age, we had just moved to Nairobi and the language I knew best was Kiswahili and I was just learning English and no wonder whey I could only be a sheep in the play and here she is a narrator in the play.
So yesterday, she confidently stood infront on the audience with her piece of paper and narrated the Christmas story as her classmates did the play. We were amazed at how she knew where to pause and direct the audience to the play and when she was meant to read. We are so proud of Samara and I say God has such a sense of humour but thankfully he gives us chances through our kids to achieve what we didn't. He knows to restore 100%.
