February Already?


Where does the time go? Yesterday I took the final Christmas decorations down from outside our house and realized that the past month and a half have just FLOWN by!

I once heard our lives compared to a toilet paper roll - the farther along you go, the faster it spins! It's so true. I can only imagine that by the time we are in our 80s a year will pass by in the time that a week goes by for me today.

Mia was sick yesteray with a high fever, an earache, and a sore throat, but seems to be back to her lively self today, and we are ready to have playdates again! Hooray!


And, we are convinced that removing television from our morning and night routines has improved Mia's attention span in droves. We really didn't think an hour or two would harm her while we got breakfast and dinner ready, but turning it off has made vast improvements in her ability to transition from one activity to another and to respond to directions positively. So, any of you having difficulty with your kids in the same manner may see some improvement with the reduction of tv (and computer) time.

Now, outside we go before the weather turns back to winter!
