Thanks for your feedback, Ashley

Dearest Ashley,

The ticks on the page will always serve as a good reminder for your Mummy. Thanks for speaking your mind and I'm very happy to receive such honest feedback from you. Mummy will continue to work on my patience and being fair to you and Abby. In case we misplaced the book, here's the poem and your ticks:

Children Learn What They Live

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, her learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with encouragement, her learns confidence. (Ticked)
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. (Ticked)
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. (Ticked)
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself. (Ticked)
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world. (Ticked)

Talking about love, you shared with me that you had a nightmare last night. You dreamt of a group of girls chasing after you. I almost fell off my chair. You said that one of the girls look very familiar and she may be your future wife. I can't stop laughing. You're such a funny and loving boy. Mummy loves it when you said,"I love you, Mum." every morning before you get off the car at the school. I just keep smiling the whole day....

Love,
Mummy knows that you'll gonna be a good husband to your future wife.
