HOW TO REALLY LOVE A CHILD
Be there. Say yes as often as possible. Let them
bang on pots. If they are crabby, put them in
water. if they are unlovable, love yourself. Realize
How important it is to be a child. Go to A
movie theatre 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 yourself magic. make lots
of forts with blankets. let your angel fly. reveal
your own 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 caring.

Mollie - that inspires me! I needed that. Evie ate a pearl earing today.
Yes - that was inspiring! I can't wait to apply those things to my little man soon. :)
And how often do we get too "busy" to sit down and do things like that with our children? Life is short and their childhood doesn't last forever... Makes you think...
