Be there.
Say yes as often as possible.
Let them bang on pots.
If they're crabby, put them in water.
If they're unlovable, love yourself.
Realize how important it is to be a child.
Go to a movie theater in your pajamas.
Read books out loud with joy.
Invent pleasures together.
Remember how small they are.
Giggle a lot.
Surprise them!
Say no when necessary.
Teach feelings.
Heal your own inner child.
Learn about parenting.
Hug trees together.
Make loving safe.
Bake a cake and eat it with your hands.
Go find elephants and kiss them.
Plan to build a rocket ship.
Imagine magic.
Make lots of forts with blankets.
Let your angel fly.
Reveal your dreams.
Search out the positive.
Keep the gleam in your eye.
Mail letters to God.
Encourage silly!
Plant licorice in your garden!
Open up.
Stop yelling.
Express your love a lot.
Speak kindly.
Paint their tennis shoes.
Handle with care!
CHILDREN ARE MIRACULOUS!
This poem reminds me of the Mommy I want to be this summer...a fun, active, involved, and creative mom. As you know, school is out we are now all in full mothering mode! I hope to keep up my blog posting but we'll see how it goes. My cute kids come first and I need to BE THERE and I NEED sleep too so I can refreshed and ready to tackle the next day. I know you understand and we all are in the same boat.
So, you all are officially invited to follow my blog (see how on the left hand column) for the summertime. You won't want to miss my quality (not quantity) posts!
My summer motto is "We remember moments, not days".
