Well Wednesday was a little rougher when the boys came to the table and there was once again rice and water. Alex began to cry (his not-so-real cry) and said that he thought they had learned how to be thankful. Ironically we had just left Walmart where the boys had all asked for extra things or "upgraded" items, to which I repeatedly had said "no." Stephen and Alex chose not eat all their rice while Jack wanted more.
I have seen progress in them saying "thank you" more often over the past few days. It's been nice to hear.
The boys then each got a posterboard and were asked to draw what they were thankful for. They had fun but they also had to think about it. Some of what they drew was really good, others silly, but I think they are beginning to grasp that they have so much and they are so blessed. The posters are hung in their playroom so that they can see that they have a lot to be thankful for when they are playing with their toys, which are usually all over the floor. :-)
