In the course of this week Linga has been reciting the Lord's prayer as he is being taught at school. It is very interesting. The first time he recited it I picked up two mistakes (me and my editor's head!) but I had to hold myself and let him finish his recital. I had to hold my all because of my last blog entry: catch him doing something right. Now allow the editor to kick in:
What he did right
He recited the prayer in record time without hesitation. He was glad he did and also that his mother and I were very impressed. Just for effect, he did it again.
What he did wrong
And I quote: "Our Father, Harold be your name….and forgive us our deaths as we forgive our death-ters…."
We are working on those two but I find that he is more motivated to work on his mistakes because of how we corrected him. This is something you will have to agree with your spouse about.
Enjoy your parenting!
