My dad used to tell me often when I was growing up to "be a duck!" And what he meant by that was to let problems, or things that people did to me that I didn't like, roll of my back like water rolls off a ducks back. Other than "keep your perspective," I think I heard "be a duck," from him the most. And now I've been using it with Kade a lot! Anytime a situation or a person frustrates him he get really angry pretty quickly so we've been trying to teach him to be a duck.
Tonight for Family Home Evening, Brad demonstrated exactly what the phrase means. He had Kade pour some water on his head to show him that his hair stayed wet afterward and then, since we don't have a duck, he showed him a YouTube video showing how water rolls off a ducks back. Kade thought it was pretty cool! And he is trying to "be a duck!"
We also had a lot of fun with our friends at the zoo today!
