The boy wanted me to show y’all his new toy: Truthfully, I’d rather give it away to one of you so I will never hear it again but that wouldn’t sit well with him, 😉 Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.

Bite-Sized Homework
We’ve had our ups and downs with homework this year. Most weeks the child’s homework is a sweet routine of math drills and spelling practice. Since she thrives on routine more than even she would care to admit, this has been overall very good. Most days she can do her homework with minimal mom input,…

It’s POTTY TIME!!!!
A few years ago, I fell in love with Signing Time. Jack was struggling to do much more than scream and I was increasingly frustrated. In a last ditch effort, I bought some DVDs and prayed that he would communicate with me. Slowly, he began to sign (things like more and done) and I felt…

Daffodils at Night

Message for ALL Mom’s.. LOVE your kids, as if they were dying..
My day had started like any other, I was up at 5 packing lunches and backpacks, while trying to gulp down some coffee. I had an appointment at the office later, so I spent a few minutes standing in front of my closet perplexed and sighing. I looked in the mirror, briefly noting the major…
Magical Moment
I never would have walked away from her and sat in the shade to talk with another mom at that age. I would have been hovering over her and wondering where all the other parents were, anyway. Then I think of where she is now with her skills and another wave of relief washes over me. I can be one of the parents sitting over in the shade, still watchful, but more at ease.
Special Exposure Wednesday – Munkd
This is why Woody got relegated to the toy bin: I should be thankful they’re toys and not the real ones right? Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
