When did she get so grown up? I just look at her and can’t believe how quickly she’s becoming this pretty little girl!





Comment Woes Part III

May 18th, 2010 by Aubri

Making comments on my own blog doesn’t always work for me. So here is my response comment to Heidi who was so kind to leave a comment on Preserving The Christian Family III.

Hey Heidi! Stalk away, that’s one reason I keep these blogs, for creepy family and friends like you! I forgot that I do or did have this Sing the Faith. I’ll have to look for the files since I changed computers I hope I switched them from my old iTunes Library! That would be great to start letting the girls listen to. It would be great for me to listen to to! And I have seen these Follow and Do books but never looked through them for some reason. I’ve been looking for a good way to teach toddlers the catechism. These sound perfect! Thanks for sharing these resources, I really appreciate it! Hope you are all doing well!

Anyone else interested in these resources they can be found at cph.org.

Thanks Heidi!

We're Learning

May 18th, 2010 by Aubri

“Children rise to risk,” says Joan Almon, executive director of the U.S. Alliance for Childhood. “Give them some genuine risk and they quickly learn what their limits are, and then they expand their limits.” The problem is: If kids never encounter even tiny risks, they never develop that thing we call common sense.

I found this interesting quote on Free Range Kids. It’s good for me to hear things like this because I have a super strong tendency to fear every step, concrete surface and sharp object around my babies. Phil often says “they’ll learn” and “let them do it once and they’ll know better next time”. There’s much truth to that but I still cringe and want to pad the world.

I’m trying now that Lily is becoming such a big girl to let her do a lot more on her own as far as climbing and getting off things goes. I know she has to learn how to do these things on her own. A couple months ago she landed on her face coming off the slide at the park and hey, she was ok. It startled her and she had dirt in her mouth and I wanted to cry, but she was ok. I’m working on Mama being ok now.
