Love of water

Daily report: "[She] stated that her favorite show-n-share was Hannah's sailboat. When asked why, she said because she loves the water."   I don't think either of us knew that about her.  

Listening ears...

Daily report: "[She] brought her listening ears today!  Because she was a great role model throughout the day!  [She] went on a nature walk looking for different color leaves for fall!"

She loves to find and collect beautifully colored leaves.

Conversations

Daily report: "[She], some of her friends and Miss Jen got to practice having a conversation today because a group tried to talk at once!  Then we took turns and everyone got a turn to tell their story!"

Out of the mouth of my babe

My 3-year old daughter mentioned something so simple and sweet on her perspective of God:

"Momma, you know that lady in the sky who watches over everyone? She watches over parents and kids. I really like God. She's very nice." I've never mentioned if God is a He or a She so her vision is her own. But it's nice to know she has taken to the concept that God is with us wherever we are and is watching over us. It is this faith that gets me through so many things on a daily basis.

How to draw a five

Today's report from daycare said my little one showed the teacher how to draw a five and used Grandma's method - 'a man took a walk, went around the corner and his hat blew off' - I realized it was the 5th.  It's nice she remembers what Grandma taught her months earlier.  And it was our 10th anniversary! Big day. :)

Out of the mouth of my babe

My 3-yr old daughter made an interesting, sweet and simple comment the other day: "Momma, you know the lady in the sky - that watches over everyone? She watches over parents and kids. I really like God. She's very nice." I have never connected a gender with God - she has come to this on her own. But it is nice to know she has taken to the belief that God is with us wherever we are, and in whatever we do. It is this faith that gets me through many issues on a daily basis.

Dr Horrible

So I was recently introduced to Joss Whedon through my friends, and am just enamored of "Dr. Horrible's Sing-along-blog." Many fans have many good things to say - it's fun to read how many people are just as enamored....

I even love this article...their "voices" are so good - they seem so well-intentioned. That's so inspiring. (On an aside: Oh how I wish to be a part of this world...well, that world...the world I dreamed of as an aspiring actor in all the school and summer-camp plays...before the logical sound of reality like rent, bills, and material things in general had a nervous Mom advising me to get a career in science so I'd be successful...."Balls!") :)
