I'm getting a gift. And I love it even before being able to see it in person. Alisha made it for me. It's a Birthday Band necklace of all my little grandbabies. They're tiny little rings with their name on the outside and their birthdate in the inside. It's darling. The nice thing about this is that if you want one you can have one too. Mine's below.

Diapers, bottles and quiet toys. Those days have been long gone for me. Or so I thought. I'm 52 and mothering a toddler. Mom 2.0 As mothers sometimes we wish we could do it over again. Do it better. Avoid some of the mistakes. Have more fun. Or be more serious. Whatever it was that we weren't. We've also learned from experience. A fascinating, sometimes frustrating teacher. That in itself, already having gone through the ups, downs and outcomes, gives us an advantage and a different perspective the second, third or ninth time around.  Sorry for the blurry photo. I was picturing taking in stealth mode since it was Sunday School in the Chapel. My Mom 2.0 tip: Reverence begins with googly eyes. I know. Not the profound tip you might be expecting. But one that'll work. Small, compact and keeps a kid's attention for about 10 minutes. Anything that can entertain quietly for that long should be shared. The eyes were sticky backed and I stuck them on his legs and fingers during sacrament meeting. This photo is during Sunday school where I was starting to entertain myself by sticking them on his head. (I wouldn't recommend this for sacrament meeting as it had all the adults snickering. Who keeps the adults quiet? Another day.) A bonus grandparent tip: These aren't bulky and can be put in your pocket for last minute moments when you're asked to watch a grandchild or any child. You'll be a hit.  |
