So normally we would associate the song we've heard a million times, "Be careful little ears what you hear...Oh be careful little eyes...", with a child and what they need to wary of. In this circumstance, those ears are mine!
Monday when I picked Jori up from gymnastics, one of the instructors let me know that although Jori is truly talented, her lack of focus would keep her from excelling. I should have immediately ignored the crazy comment about my very imaginative genius 4 year-old, however, I freaked out! I decided she had a problem and might be ADHD (her father is!). I came home immediately and searched for ways to treat ADHD/ADD at home without drugs. I decided we should change our diets drastically. No sugar, no carbonation, no anything good!
It took several days for me to stop and reconsider this over-the-top measures! What was I thinking??? She is only FOUR! How can a woman who is with her only 1 hour a week make such a lousy assumption of Jori.
So lesson learned...BE CAREFUL LITTLE EARS WHAT YOU HEAR, AND WHAT YOU DECIDE TO LISTEN TOO

So glad you're back to blogging. I've missed reading about your kids! I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago when somebody called Mason a brat (acting like one, but still, that's my baby) and I completely was ready to change my parenting style! Side note: she later apologized and I understand what she meant.
