Connor

Today at work I had a most joyful experience teaching Connor about forgiveness.

He built a "fortress" out of foam blocks and left it on the side of the foam pit while he took his turn doing backwards rolls with me. He did one backwards roll and stood up to see that his fortress had been destroyed! Sabrina had kicked it over into the pit. He was about to start crying when I said, "Connor! This is an excellent opportunity for you to practice your forgiveness!"
Without skipping a beat he said to Sabrina, "It's okay."

Let me give you a little bit of background on Connor. He has an auditory processing delay and is a little bit more than hefty, which makes gymnastics a little more challenging for him than for the rest of the students.

So when I pulled out my big "special occasion" yellow sticker and stuck it on his shirt, he had a huge smile. And it was the coolest thing ever to see him more excited about forgiveness than a gymnastics skill.
