I have been enjoying bedtime conversations with Jet lately. We usually read the children bible together before going to bed (me, Jet and Matt – and sometimes Lina too),  after the bible reading and praying – Matt goes with Lina to their room and I accompany Jet for ten minutes or so before he goes to sleep.

Jet likes to talk and to share his stories and his feelings. Today he told me that on Thursday he was sad because he was left out by some his friends that he usually play with. He also loves telling me about his friends too. I am a bit concerned that he has best friends, which seems to imply he prefers some friends than the others – I encourage him to be a good friend to everyone – not sure how realistic is that in the real life. I mean even us adults to get along with everyone and we ourselves prefer some people better than the other.

I really treasure this time with Jet – maybe when Matt is older – I would have this kind of conversation with him too. And I hope I can keep conversing and relating with my children and they too can be open and comfortable talking to me.
