First the big news, our own Gillitime has given birth to a beautiful baby girl! Stop by and congratulate the new mom! Brings back lots of memories for me. Hard to believe my little baby is now 7 years old! Where has the time gone?
I got a new book, Raising Your Spirited Child. It is a real eye opener for me and it describes Kota perfectly.
'The spirited child-often called "difficult" or "strong-willed"- can easily overwhelm parents, leaving them feeling frustrated and inadequate. Spirited kids are, in face, simply "more" - by temperament, they are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistant, and uncomfortable with change than the average child.'
So I am really getting an education reading this book. It talks about how kids are labeled and we really need to stop doing that. Instead it says to use positive labels. Like instead of calling him stubborn, say he is very persistant.
I talked to daughter last night, she is looking into getting her own apartment. I am so proud of her! And I can't wait to make her a gift basket for her new place! The place she is looking at bases your rent on your income so I really hope she can get in there. She did great this past semester at college, like I knew she would. She just amazes me each day.
I think I better go read my book as kota is hammering away here. He has an old skateboard he took the wheels off. Not sure what he is making but the hammering is intense. LOL
Have fun making the gift basket!
Congrats on the baby news- all happy news, great post
