My Lovelies
I prefer them in their undies or au naturel and messy, usually with some sort of medium or food on them - paint, glue, markers, syrup, strawberry juice. Nothing beats the smell of sleepy kids mixed with maple syrup. (I think I've said that before on here, oh well.) But don't worry, they clean up nice and dove soap smells even better on fresh clean babies with just laundered pj's. Yep they is in they's undies (sorry, recently saw The Help) "You is kind, you is smart, you is important". Excellent movie by the way.
I love this video (can't figure out why it posted twice or how to delete one) it really demonstrates Casey and Lucy's relationship or buddyship.

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"
Read an interview with one of the authors, Dan Kindlon, PH.D. here.
I love the video! It so reminds me of Silas, whenever he gets upset about anything he asks to go night night or to go in his crib. Super cute pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteYour boys are so precious! That video of Casey and Lucy reminds me of the relationship Whit and Lacey our first collie had. Very special :). Thanks for sharing. Love you so much!!!
