The Virtue of Persistence

Aden spent over 10 minutes trying to peel the apple with the only knife available to him. It was very important that he do so by himself even though I could have helped him with a sharper knife. I must say that I was very impressed with his determination and focus. He had a clear goal and worked as hard as possible to achieve it. He finally had to settle for eating the apple as is. Along with the apple he enjoyed a "no bake hamantaschen" made with bread, sun butter and jelly. Tomorrow I will bring in an apple peeler!
