3 years happy, 3 years healthy, 3 years thankful!!

If I had my child to raise 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 would care to know less and know to care more
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
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often

I would be firm less often and affirm much more

I'd talk less about the love of power and more about the power of love

Luke and Isabel got a great report from their sweet doctor yesterday!

We are thankful for our growing 3 years olds!!!
