Flag Page - Know your kids

I love both my girls just the way they are.  It is very fun to see just how different God has made them as these differences are showing themselves more clearly the past few months.  We tried a "game" of get to know your children with a tool "Flag Page".  It showed Adeline excels with perfectionism and peace.  We are noticing this more and are not as surprised when the condensation from her cup makes a mess and she is bothered by it.  She likes to keep things at peace.  Essie is in the worlds of Fun and Peace but with some of the Control world.  So far we have noticed after reading and watching her she likes to make sure we have fun with being a bit silly.   We have made an effort to appreciate this fun she brings.  God is great because now as a family we should have some order and have fun doing it  -- sound like a great combo to me :)

The game has four worlds: Control, Peace, Perfection, Fun.  You go through cards with them describing situation (brief) with a photo and they decide if it is always like them, sometimes or never.  I was very surprised how Essie at 3.5 was able to correctly decide on the cards.  It took a couple sessions with her.  Then follow the directions with points, etc and then there you go.  You are to repeat this every year as kids do change :)  There is an adult version online, but it has $$.  So I haven't tried to figure myself out just yet!
