{ Staying Busy }

Ok, I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. I wish I could say more was happening in our lives. We seem to be really busy, but I am not sure what exactly is keeping us that way, other then GAME NIGHTS with friends and kevin coaching SOCCER. Today has just been full of me getting londyns HAND PRINTS and trying to get her memory book updated. The handprints definately made quite the mess, if anyone has any tips on how to get the babies hands out of a fist to get the handprint let me know. I really want londyn to be able to look back and see how small she really was, although that is easier said then done as I have found out.

On a different note I was reading another blog today and found this:

Children Learn What They Live

by Dorothy Law Neite

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.

If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.

If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence

If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.

If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.

If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.

If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,

he learns to find love in the world.

It really put things in perspective for me as a parent. Kevin and I really need to try our hardest to have our children grow up in a proper home full of love and patience. I think every parent hopes that for themselves, if you are reading this I hope you can keep this in mind for your own home. It is so important especially in the world today to make sure our kids feel safe and have security with their family.
