It’s a beautiful, beautiful day.
Cool enough this morning for long sleeves,
and about 80 degrees right now.
70 would be better, but let’s just say it’s almost the perfect day.
Emailing back and forth with J. this morning made it even better.
I sent him this picture of Sadie and he says he can’t stop looking at it:
He says he wouldn’t know what she looked like if I didn’t keep him up to date with my photos.
How sad is that?
But it makes me grin when he talks about how beautiful she is.
Because she sure is. Those eyes…sigh!
Before ballet yesterday:
We are in a good patch.
Content with life’s blessings, enjoying being together, and not too many tantrums.
This book really helped. It has made such a difference, I can’t recommend it enough.
I used Love and Logic as a teacher and love using it as a parent as well.
In a nutshell the tenets are:
-
Helping kids feel good about themselves.
-
The child is always left feeling he/she has some control.
-
Adults learn to discipline with equal shares of empathy and consequence.
-
The child is required to do more thinking than the adult.
Anyway, thought it was worth sharing.
I’m just staying busy around here with the chickies…we finally painted the hallway and now I’m moving on to the countertops. We are thinking granite tile. Fascinating, I know. Hahaha!
Other than that, nothing new except for a few pages I want to share.
For Websters Pages:
Guesting this week for the Color Combo Challenge!:
You may notice a small label obsession on every single one of my layouts…
I’ve mentioned this before, but I got them from my girl Aja. Her shop is called TwoGirlzStuff at Etsy and she is fantastic!!
Well, I think I hear the girls. That means nap time is over and we are off for a backyard adventure.
Love to you all!
