Different but the Same

Little Man and I talk a lot about how we are different but the same.

After this lesson, Little Man was literally beaming. I think this made more sense to him than all of our talks and books. By cracking the eggs and finding them the same inside, I think he really put it together and it filled his little soul with joy.
