The Guiding Hand

You don't know the future, so you don't know what kind of adults your children will become. And you can't even imagine what kind of parents they will be.

Happy Ever After

I have to admit that coloring is fun. And if you have a storybook that is also a coloring book, well that is an added bonus.

Our crayons make the characters come to life as we color outside of the lines.

The Princess loves the classic fairytales. The magic lives on.

Buddy and Bambi

I never know what Buddy and I will encounter on our daily walks in the woods.

Today we happened upon Bambi who was trying to hide behind a tree.

We quietly retreated to avoid stressing the deer.

The Power Of Interaction

What a wonderful age to be! If you take an interest in him, and interact with him, he wants to do whatever you are doing.

Let him select the scrabble letters, show him how simple words can be made from those letters, then watch his inquisitive mind go to work.

I've come to learn that the human dynamics and the outcomes are amazing. And all you have to do is to take an interest in someone and interact with them.

Tenderness

She can't say Buddy, so she calls him "Baa-Yee". But what children can't say in words, they express with their actions.

Acts of tenderness are understood by all. Even a fragile dog understands and responds to gentleness and tenderness.
