At the age of 38, and by choice, I was a Mommy again.
In those early years of parenting, I had no clue as to
what I know now.

For as much as I think I have been and am a teacher to them,
I have come to know that they indeed arrived to TEACH ME !
For this I have Kevin to thank. He has opened my eyes and
enlightened me in ways I was never able to see or even
comprehend 25 years ago.

So, to you young parents, observe the lessons of your little ones,
and know they are your teachers.
Remember also to mirror back to them the character that

Your actions, repeated over time, will have a great influence.

Hi Deb--
It truly is a give-and-take when it comes to learning with children.
So much for them to learn and so much for us adults to continue learning.
Unfortunately, we can be sooo resistant to new ideas.
And, boy, does the time ever fly! I look at my little girl who will be
going to preschool soon and I'm amazed at how she's growing so fast.

Thanks for dropping by...
Oh once they start school is when
the speed up really happens.!!
Not that I have a ton of readers, but I invite mine to drop by Frank's blog, The new parent.
IF you happen to be on 'old' parent like me, Frank loves the input. :))
Thank you, Deb. That's very sweet of you.
Once my daughter started talking and walking life sped up!
Now, it just seems like it's speeding along.
