Sunflower Six: Making Progress

Making Progress

Jay is slowly coming along with her gross motor skills. She absolutely hates putting any weight on her knees and legs, but has discovered some strength in her arms...hence the army crawl. It is not what the therapist wants to see, but I will take it!!

This is going to make me sound like the worst mom ever, but with child number four I have learned that the fewer the outfits the better and that really means less laundry if I am not dirtying an outfit and pj's every day. So here Jay is at 11 months and actually wearing her first real pair of pj's. I think she felt special in her pj's because we all made such a big deal about them!!

Innocence of a child....

Driving along the freeway in Lehi there is a new little amusement park called Liberty Land. They have a very large imitation of Mount Rushmore with the heads of the Presidents of the U.S. Sydney's see's it and says,"Hey, there's the Godhead!"

While passing through Farmington, NM, we saw a car graveyard. The cars were all lined up in rows and rows and more rows. Morgan says, "Hey, are those cars stuck in rush hour traffic?"

While reading how the Nephites and Laminites are always fighting, Sydney says, "How do you fought?"

Thought provoking thoughts...

A.S.A.P

Always Say A Prayer.

Don't count the days,

Make the days count.

Life is not measured by the breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Prayer changes things.

“Don't spend your life with someone you can live with, spend it with someone you can't live without"

"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 the watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes, and fly more kites. I would 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."
