The Wild Rumpus: Just a little catch up

Just a little catch up

Yesterday Casey said "Thanks" and it made me sad. He used to say "Thank". He's growing up. At least he still says "Peanut butter chubby" for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Bennett with his drawing of our family.

A closer look at the fam. I love how Casey is holding my hand and Dad has his arm around Bennett and Lucy is in the middle.

And this is Lucy.

Bennett is such a good little artist! He amazes me every day. He's growing up so fast. Preschool will be so fun for him and I'm excited for all that he's going to learn and all the friends he's going to make.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.

"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
