The Note Taker at our Family Meetings

Kuba was the note taker at our family meeting yesterday.   October 19th at 7:35 pm.
We usually have meetings on Sunday evenings right around 7o'clock.  Last night was no  exception. We begin each meeting with appreciations...each of us says one thing out loud that we appreciate about everyone else, so essentially we all say 3 individual appreciations. We keep track of who goes first, and who they appreciate and what they say.  It's our record keeping method.   Yesterday it was Kuba's turn to take notes.  It was hard for him to capture the whole appreciation in words as a new writer, so he drew pictures instead.  These are his notes.  If you take a look at the top left, Anders was first in his appreciations.  He appreciated Anna for practicing violin with him, Kuba for playing with him, and me for practicing piano with him even though I was so tired.  His drawings show Anders holding a violin, Anders and Kuba smiling, and Anders and me...with me tipping over from exhaustion.   Awesome, right!   I know we are not going to remember the meaning of these drawings later, but we are going to remember that family meeting is really fun, and our kids are getting so terrific at sharing genuine and heartfelt appreciations.  We also solved a problem last night.  How to keep our house cleaner during the week so we can play more on the weekends.  Let's see how we do!
