I hate hearing children crying and adults just ignoring them, usually too involved in the text they're sending. Then they wonder why they don't listen to them, well, they're not setting a very good example, are they? I've often wanted to go and give a child a cuddle when I've seen they've hurt themselves and the adult with them doesn't seem bothered.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting list of learning!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love that sweater, hat and bootie combo! So bright and cheerful. I hope to finish a doll for my daughter this summer that I have now been working on for an entire year:) This inspired me to pick it up again.
ReplyDeletelovely list! new insterests of my son's always inspire me in all the discovering we can do together on the topic :) I understand you home school? I have seriously been looking into home schooling too, time will tell if we end up going that way though :) Always love reading about how other families homeschool though, it's sort of a new passion of mine!
