CONFESSIONS OF A MOM #choosekindness #51actsofkindness

This week I decided to read several articles and pay a little more attention to what's going on in the adult world. I have to admit that part of me wants to just get lots in the little kid world again. My heart aches for all the tragedy and horrible things that are happening. It solidified in my mind the need to be kind to others. We just don't know . . . We don't know what they are struggling with. We don't know if they hardly ever hear kind words. We don't know the real reason behind the hard exterior. We just don't know.

Make the choice this week to be kinder. Encourage those around you to be kind. Do a small act of kindness for someone. Not only will it help them, but it will help you as well. #choosekindness

CONFESSIONS OF A MOM

I had a sad realization the other day. A friend of mine has a beautiful month old baby girl. She's so tiny. My first thought was how small she was and how she reminded me of Lion's size. Come to find out she was over 7 pounds and 20 inches, 2 pounds and 2 inches bigger than Lion. I've forgotten how tiny Lion was ...

On the other hand, I've learned with my headstrong Tigger that if I ask him to do something once (noting the good consequences and bad consequences) then leave him alone, he usually gets it done without any arguments. What I haven't figured out is how to make that principal work when there has to be a time frame involved. (Call me crazy but I can see taking him somewhere without clothes on, yet at times getting the clothes on is a struggle.)

Bear is almost 19 pounds and is as happy as can be. He loves to stand and his bouncer. He's watching Tigger run with much more attentiveness than I'm comfortable with. I do believe I'm in trouble. :) I better up the workout so I will be able keep up. :)
