Julia (7) continues to be a huge help at home while Rebecca has been away. Today she set the table again and prepared the dinner, all with minimal help from me. When Rebecca called this evening, Julia was the first to talk to her. After her came Elliott. Even though Elliott knows how to talk on the phone, Julia was afraid that he might do it wrong or might not realize that this was his chance to talk to Mom. She stood there by him and held the phone up next to his ear. She also coached him of things to say. She did that for about five minutes until it was Christian's turn. Although I was impressed by her arm strength to be able to hold the phone for him for so long, I was even more impressed by how kindly she helped Elliott make the most of his phone call.
Julia was my superhero today for helping Elliott on the phone.
