Be Careful Little Ears...

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

A Few Blissful Months!

Here is a quick run-down of our last few months...

In December my first baby, my baby girl, the child I waited months to conceive turned 4! She is so smart and so funny! This year she wanted a princess party. As you may know, I don't do birthday parties, I do birthday productions. I start months ahead of time and plan these over-the-top parties that make most moms roll their eyes at how much time I've put into the party. Either way...Jori got just what she wanted!




We have had a great winter! Just enough snow to play in but not enough to interfere with life!


Then we had Little Man's 2nd Bday! He has gotten so big so fast! He talks all the time! Yesterday he told me (after fighting with his sister) that "Jori apologized"! I was blown away! These precious babies are such blessings!
