Parenting Thought Of The Day

Take the time to think of the things you wanted to do as a kid. Then do and share it with your kids.

Go out and play with your kids outside. Jump and hop with them when they are.

Let them play with the other kids like you wanted to when you were a kid.

Just take the time and do more things with your kids.

A Mom's Delight

I can't believe how fast Jaden is growing. I was just looking at my calendar today and he's now five months and a week old. I'm happy he's growing to be a happy baby. He laughs when he's happy and when you talk to him, he smiles back at you. He coos and babbles a lot now too. And everytime he does that, I just get all excited. I looove the sound of his voice! :) So now when I read a book to Gabriel (my 2 year old toddler), I try and have him close by, whether he's sitting on the couch or in his swing close by so he can listen with us too. I've read some article that even at this age, babies are already starting to learn the language so if I can try and make a situation happen where both of my kids can learn together, then I will feel more satisfied as a mom and as a teacher to both of them. :)

Hmmm, I want to write more..but okay, I better go to bed, I can't believe how late it is now...1:05 AM CT. I am tired...
