1. 2. 3. Life in a Small House: Organic, Green, and on a Budget: Confidence 4. 12. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 23. 24.

25. 26. Confidence 27. 28.

29.

I'm not sure if it's typical.  But Quinn, at seven and a half, has the most confidence of any child I know. 

He'll try any water slide, climbing obstacle, and challenge put in front of him. 

If he doesn't know the answer and you tell him, his immediate response is, "Oh, yeah, I was about to say that."

While watching American Ninja Warrior he insists that he'd be able to do all of the obstacles - if only Mike would build them for him.

Now, with the Olympics on, he's decided that next summer he will join the local swim team so that he can go to the Olympics and win the gold.

I honestly do not remember ever having this amount of confidence as a child.  Maybe I did and forgot about it.

For now I'll try my best to find a good balance of encouraging his confidence and keeping the boasting under control. 

I just wish I could bottle this all up and serve it to him when he's an awkward teenager.
