It's a bit late as I was out at the lake today! Too hot in this apartment, the hurricane is coming now though so at least I can feel the air!
A group of kindergartners were trying to become accustomed to the first grade.
The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on no baby talk.
"You need to use 'big people' words," she'd always remind them.
She asked Chris what he had done over the weekend.
"I went to visit my Nana."
"No, you went to visit your grandmother. Use big people words!"
She then asked Mitchell what he had done.
"I took a ride on a choo-choo."
She said, "No, you took a ride on a train. Use big people words."
She then asked Bobby what he had done.
"I read a book," he replied.
"That's wonderful!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?"
Bobby thought about it, then puffed out his little chest with great pride and replied:
"Winnie the shit!"

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
