I have always thought of keeping a journal for my kids. That thought is based on the assumption that they will want to know most everything that was in my head while they lived with me. After being inspired by someone I met recently, here goes. My random thoughts~ day 1.........
Today I had a brainstorm. Mallory is 8 and the middle child and suffers from frequent fit throwing. My brainstorm....are u ready for this? She is craving one on one attention. I know, I knw, most of you are saying well duh! But for some reason, it hit me strongly today. Well last night really, when she asked for a book before bed and I did the same routine. I sighed loudly, snapped at her to hurry with her pjs, and mentioned how tired I was. Terrible. And God put a mirror in front of me last night and I SAW it happening, like an out of body experience. Then the brainstorm hit, fast and furious. We are going to start reading Charlottes Web together! She was so excited. See her school is going to see the movie on may 15th for Right to Read Week (hmmm a movie for right to read week???) and she would love to read it before then. She even reminded me this morning to get the book today. SO now we are both excited. We have a purpose and a timeline. We will get some good time together! Mallory, I'll keep you posted!
