Working on it...

"Working on it...."

has become sort of a catch phrase at our house.

 

mom- You're going to fast

driver- working on it

mom- we're late, get in the car!

student- working on it!

mom- Tom pick up Vanna

Tom- working on it

 

Get the idea?

 

While it's a funny Hagertyism, this week it became the theme of our week.

Trey came home with a top honor.  We oohed and ahhed, asked to see it in writing

then celebrated. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Tommy- who exceeds in every subject, is devastated that Trey has out scored him in one subject.  Not so much that Trey one upped him but that our attention was on Trey.

 

 

 

So how did we handle this??

We're working on it!

We've reminded him how much we love and celebrate him, but this (in Trey's words)  is a miracle!  We should all be happy for him and encourage him.   He still isn't happy about it.  His pride was hurt (pride comes before a fall).  But through prayer, patience, and humility he has come to a place where he can genuinely congratulate Trey. 

I love my boys!  They are hard work, but worth it!
