Jot It Down
It is one of the reminder’s I get from Bravewriter. And I feel a little guilty that I get through the day and have not taken the time to “jot down” any of my kid’s witty sayings.
Yesterday it finally clicked and I have this witty saying from a very precocious 4yo. After hearing she was a good artist she replied:
Soon I’ll be able to live at museums because museums have artists.
LOL! As soon as she said it I asked, “Ooh! What a wonderful saying. Can I write that down?” She looked at me with a curious expression but said “okay.”
As I wrote it out, I said each word slowly and she watched the whole process with much interest. Ooh! I thought. This is working! Afterwards, I put it on the fridge and stood back to admire it. What connections she’s making there, I can’t be sure. But I know there’s something going on (constantly) in that growing brain of hers.
Next thing I hear is, “Mommy, can you show me how to write that down too?”

Ok, so you’ve been on my mind for months now and Brian finally popped up and said “perhaps you should go read her blog and say hello.” Brilliant!
HI !!!! - I’m glad to hear that you are all doing well despite the flu. Happy belated Birthday by the way!
As I start to get more into herbals and natural living I often think of you and all of your fabulous discoveries. Brian and I are doing well. We’ve stumbled onto a few things that have helped us out quite a bit when it comes to our health and well-being. Brian has lost 46 lbs. very healthfuly since end of December and I have lost 24 lbs. We miss you guys-
We wish you all a glorious Spring!
Jamie & Brian
