We are 14 units into Bigger with my ds. We were in our backyard today when I needed something from our garage. I was going to open the door when my son ran ahead and did it. I said, "Thanks." and he replied, "I'm showing initiative."
Taking initiative is the character quality we studied this week.

Ha! So cute! My little one has learned the word 'initiative' from his brother who was doing Bigger.

Now, every time my little one does a task without being asked, he says, "I showed initiative!"
Gotta love that!
Blessings,
Carrie

Love this!

Nothing's better than carryover of character - GOOD character that is.
