"The best thing to spend on your children is your time"







Today we got Carly's progress report from her teacher. Since she has been having so many tantrums these days, we've been questioning our technique and abilities as parents. Well, she got a glowing review. Her teacher said, Carly is helpful to others around her and to the younger children in her class. She shares and has a broad vocabulary. She is friendly, ready to use a regular cup, loves puzzles, dancing, art and singing. She always says please, thank you and you're welcome. Tonight we were reading with her, jumping on the bed, we made dinner together, had bath time, played with her puzzles and colored. Every night, Daddy puts her to sleep and every morning makes her breakfast. I guess we are doing something right. It's funny how today of all days, when we were questioning ourselves, we received this report. Sometimes it takes an outsider to remind us of the things we are doing right. I suppose we are all our own worst critics. We could not be more proud of her and I guess a little bit of ourselves!

Love to all,

Mommy & Daddy xoxo
