Jul. 14, 2008 - Mondays On Mothering -- Missing "Cardy"

Mondays On Mothering

I am missing my baby. I mean, she is not my baby anymore, she's my oldest. But she's still my baby. She is on a 15 day trip with her Aunt in the Rockies, and we are only on day 2. Yikes! What's more, my little guy (age 2) is missing her in a big way. He keeps looking up at random times with a confused expression on his face and asking "Where's Cardy?" That's not really her name, but it is what comes out when my two year old tries to say Clara. Bless his heart! I hope he is still asking in two weeks when we go to pick her up...

As a Mom, I love seeing the relationships my kids have with each other. It is such a blessing to see them growing up as friends. I have "stairstep" kids, each 2 years apart; and they do fight. But, they also love. After reading Love in the House, I have been trying to encourage all of us to respond to everything with love! That seems like a long row to how with some of the tempers we struggle with; yet the children really do love each other. We watched The Incredibles last night; and I think my seven year old boy is starting to get it. Seeing Dash punch someone for "messing" with his sister. That was a good thing. I mean really. If you love your sister, act like it!

I am thinking about reading Love in the House aloud to my kids when they get home.

What do you love about mothering your children? Whatever it is, I hope you will share something this week. Monday is a great time to focus on the joys of mothering don't you think?

That's sweet that your kids miss each other. Wow, a fifteen day trip in the Rockies. It sounds like lots of fun, but I think I would really be missing my kids after that long!
My kids fight with each other, but they don't want other people to mess with their brother/sister. It's pretty funny. : )
No pictures of the new hairstyle for me. I don't think my daughter wants everyone on hsb to know how much we look alike. : )

About Me

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
