Conscientious Baz

I've heard from someone that with children, you plant the seeds from age 0-7 and form values between 7 & 12. We TRY to do what we can. We've talked about patience, sharing and love for family. Lately though, Baz (and sometimes Hadrien) has been really keen on "not wasting" - be it water, food and even energy! This translates to them playing with water less, eating the food they have on their plates, and shutting the TV and the lights when they don't need it. Pretty cool, right?!

Come to think of it, even as a toddler, Baz hated it when we told him that we would be throwing the food he didn't eat...

It's funny to hear Baz holler "Mommy, Hadrien is wasting water!" He understands now that what goes to waste now is gone forever. He also knows not to take too much of things he doesn't need as it would only be wasteful and that he may need it at some future time. I see a genuine concern in him about these things - and it makes me hopeful that his generation, if not ours, will take better care of nature and many other things we take for granted.
