clean your plate
Image via Wikipedia
the other day our family was eating dinner and our Dear Son whom is almost three and a half asked if he could have dessert. Of course he hadn’t eaten hardly any of his veggies or meal so the answer was “you first need to clean your plate.” Dear Son looked at me and asked, “can i have a napkin?”
it took us a while, but we finally figured out when we said to him “clean his plate” he took it in the litterial sense of cleaning. it was quite cute and we all got a good hardy laugh out of it.
to see life again through the eyes of a child growing up and adventuring, learning, experimenting and loving is an amazing journey my family is just beginning and i’m thrilled and passionate to wake each day to learn what will be next.
do you have a story through the eyes of a child?

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love… the clarity of [...]

Joshua had a profound realization this past weekend. I must say maybe it was more profound to Gwenn and I. He approached us very gently, placed his hand on our cheeks and said:
I love you more then my toys!
For a 4.5 year old little boy. This is huge. He is such a cutie-pie!

Over the last week Batman has moved into our house, you should know Batman has assumed a new alias: Dear Son. Every morning he wakes up and asks,
“Can I put on my Batman costume?”
Depending on if he has to go to school of not, the answer is usually:
“Yes.”
Batman, aka Dear Son, now watches TV with [...]

A few weeks ago mama G and myself had noticed that Dear Son had out grown a lot of his current toys and felt it was time for a lesson on giving and receiving. We sat down with Dear Son and asked him how he felt about GIVING AWAY some of his [...]

I found this quote in an article i was reading on parenting.com
The real goal of discipline isn’t to punish. It’s to help kids really want to do the right thing.
It really made me think about how, when and why I discipline Dear Son. This quote is so true… discipline should be for teaching, a [...]

I read a quote yesterday…
Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
Wait for it..
wait for it…
WOW!
Just imagine going into each project, each vision, each goal with that type of attitude and aspiration. The quote is so right, things to not just get handed to us. We must [...]

We are each given a story, a story called life.
Life pushes us to our extremes on many levels, emotional, physical, mental all at different times and on some occasions simultaneously. I have to believe when we go through different stages or roads of life they all are for a greater purpose. [...]

This morning while sitting around the breakfast table eating our cereal, we turned on the weather channel to see what was in store for today. Our goal was to see the days forecast in order to know if Dear Son would need pants or shorts when dressing for school this morning, [...]
