Conversations with Eli: Persistence and a Helper
26February 27, 2013 by CassieCravings
“Why are crying, Little One?”
“I ‘tan’t do it!”
“It can be very disheartening when we can’t do something. What are you trying to do?”
“Rides my bicycle, so I, Eli, cans be a big boy. But I ‘tan’t do it!”
“You can’t do it YET. A little persistence and more practice will get you there in no time.”
“I’s so sad in my heart. I wants to ride my bicycle. I twried and I twried and I twried.”
“And you will try again. It’s okay to be frustrated and to get down when you have worked hard and still can’t do something. When you’re ready to try again, would you like for me to help?”
“Yes, puhlease. You’s be my helper.”
“I would love to be your helper.”
“T’anks, my Mama. You’s my heart helper to not cwry anymore. You’s a good helper.”

My sweet little Eli don’t cry….just remember what the little engine that could always said when he tried to get over that big hill over and over….”I think I can, I think I can. You will be able to ride that bike all by yourself one 🙂
🙂 I remember Granny used to read me that book all of the time. It has always been one of my favorites 🙂
Yup its one of my favorite too;) and I use to read it to the boys when they were little. I can’t the time for Johathon lol, I think that was the only book he wanted me to read 🙂
Granny memorized The Pokey Little Puppy. She wouldn’t even look, and I would turn the pages. lol
So sweet!
He’s a precious little man 🙂
“You’s my heart helper to not cwry anymore.” He just makes my heart melt.
I walked around with my head held high all day long knowing that I am his “heart helper”. 🙂
Oh Gosh this was so sweet and heart-warming! Almost cried lol(im emotional)
lol I stay in tears. It’s just hard to believe that this little guy is in my life. We waited a long time for him. It has been worth it ❤
Reblogged this on Ta hendene til din kjære – se på dem og hold dem hardt Disse hendene skal du følge, leie og lede. Du skal få føle på varmen fra dem og kjenne en inderlig glede. De skal stryke deg og de skal holde rundt deg – de er ikke skapt for å såre i vrede For du skal ikke alene mer vandre. De skal klemme og kose og aldri klandre De skal skjerme deg for det du ikke selv ser. De skal elske og aldri forakte – bare hjelpe når du ber. Disse hendene skal jobbe for at dere skal få det godt De skal gi – og du skal takke for det du har fått. De skal tvinnes sammen i kjærlighet og være ømme og gode og et tegn på inderlighet Hendene du holder er sterke og unge De skal gjennom mye for din skyld når dagene er tunge De skal stryke og klemme og være gode og fromme De skal ruske i ditt hår og takke når dagen er omme Disse hendene skal følge deg gjennom livet. De skal holde fast ved deg og verne om samlivet De skal være hos deg når alle andre har gått De skal aldri slippe men holde fast og tørke tårer når du har grått. Hendene skal bære din ring med rette Den skal skinne og for alle berette Jeg elsker deg! – kan den bekjenne Det er bare en som har maken til denne En dag er hendene blitt ru og grå Hver fure og rynke forteller om livet som bak dere lå Dere kan minnes den dagen i dag – da et livslangt bånd Ble knyttet Og fra denne dag dere gikk Hånd i hånd..
