While cleaning, I found this STOP sign in a closet, leftover from our Step-son who has since moved on~ It made me STOP and think about how I travel though my life as a Mom
- Am I following the rules?
- Am I enjoying the trip?
Am I taking the time to notice the little things,
good or bad and see how important they are?
I am not sure how to move these pictures around to make this the right way, so just get some exercise and turn your head! Jessica is playing with a wind-up flashlight, and singing, "This little light of mine,I'm gonna make it shine"
Shane was playing a game,with some balls~ that he made up just for himself, Jessica was still singing and winding the light.
I got the opportunity to read Jenny McCarthy's Louder Than Words.
I read it in one afternoon, with tears and laughs.Such a beautiful story, written in a very open and very honest format. It was as if your best girlfriend, who just happened to be a sex-object learned how to change her life to create a better life for her special-needs child!
WOW!
There were things in the book that I have said myself, maybe not out loud but, still screamed inside my head~
I recommend this book for all new mothers, not to scare you, but to see that you have the power to change yourself and by doing that you can be a positive change in your child and their lives.
First, Then~{first pick-up the toys then, you can have snack}
is something I learned from ECCares, Jenny mentions it also,
why is this a concept that isn't shouted from the roof-tops?
I learned it I use it often, it even works on my husband!
There has been a lot more going on around here,
but these were the things that I just felt needed to be shared!
