It's Christmas eve....

All the stockings are hung by the chimney with care with the hopes that St. Nick will soon be here!

Merry Christmas everyone.

School

Louis' attendance at school recently has been hit or miss. It breaks my heart most days to take him to daycare but I think he really likes it and that it is good for him. As most kids do, he is beginning to get a little clingy and likes his mom to hold him which makes leaving him all the more difficult. However, I don't blame him! I remember how good it felt for my mom to hold me - so safe and comfortable perched high on her hip.

I pray that I am a consistent, loving and stable mother in every action I take. From leaving him at daycare in the morning to playing with him at home each evening -  Kids need that sense of security and compassion. I want Louis to be confident to explore the world around him and to take (safe) risks but I want him to do that on his own schedule not because the world thinks he should.

Let the Christmas Festivities Begin!

We attended the Spencer Family Christmas over the weekend in Lima. It was Louis' first experience with opening gifts. He loved the fire truck and blender his Great Grandma and Grandpa Spencer got him! We had such a lovely time with the family and ate lots and lots of good food too!

Looking forward to Christmas with the Greer's and Brown's over the coming days.
