"The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence."
-Denis Waitley
We put in a new closet rod in Isla’s closet, lower so she could reach it, and Isla was very excited to be able to pick out her own clothes in the morning. Isla took to it immediately, and the look of pride on her face afterwards says it all.
Ashlyn came back from art camp excited to show off everything she made. She made mugs, earrings, paintings, and other things our of clay and she had some ideas for things that James and Ashlyn would like too. Based on the reaction from the kids, I think they agreed with Ashlyn’s choices.
The rock hunting has continued, and the kids so far show no signs of stopping. We paint rocks, they find rocks, they hide rocks, and the circle of life/rocks continues. It’s outdoor fun, so this is fun that we can all agree on.
The library is becoming a favorite spot for the kids to visit. They’re getting familiar enough with it now that they wanted a picture with the statue out front.
