confidence vs. bossiness

i think i sometimes mistake confidence for bossiness. I think I am a naturally passive person, and shy too. I think I thought that meant I didn't have confidence. It seemed to come to me out of nowhere that confidence isn't bossiness. it seems obvious probably. i think at times i would try to imitate confidence and it came off as bossy. I have decided that confidence isn't speaking your opinion a lot its trusting yourself. I can be totally confident and still be shy and passive.

Now I can finally be perfect!!

haha just kidding. but don't you think that its a lesson learned and worth recording?

prayers

Some of Jackson's recent prayers:

note: Jackson really thinks the Nephites are bad people.

Thank you for this day. Thank you for the Christmas season. Thank you for God and Jesus and Heavenly Father and that they can never be hurt by the Nephites.

Thank you that I can play with Scott, and Jesus.

His prayers are always full of lots of thank yous and he always says thank you that we can have fun as a family which is a constant reminder to me of how important that is for him.

oh and also, when he gets mad at me he scowls, points his finger at me and says "mommy you're a nephite!"
