I Can Do It!

Breanna and Sarah were riding scooters outside this morning.  I went to help Hunter ride a bike and overheard this conversation.

S:  Okay, Breanna.  This is what I do, I say to my mind and in my heart, 
"I can do it!  I can do it!"  Okay? Watch!
(Sarah rides the scooter from the gate to the grass whispering to herself,
"I can do it!  I can do it!")

S:  See Breanna?  Now you try.
(Breanna begins to ride her scooter and whispering to herself,
"I can do it! I can do it!")

As Breanna's riding Sarah asks,
"Are you saying it in your heart and in your mind, Breanna?"


S:  That was great, Breanna!  You did it! 
That was the fastest you've done it so far.  Let's go again.
 
Each time Breanna got faster on her scooter.
 
S:  See, Breanna!  You can do it! 
You just have to whisper in your heart and in your mind that you can do it -- then you can do it!
 
If you need to accomplish something today --
say it in your heart and in your mind that you can and you will!
 
This message brought to you by two sweet sisters
who dearly love each other and want to encourage each other. 
Just about brings a tear to my eye!

That is such a cute story. I love how they had a bonding moment. Those moments are so precious.
