Haines School Welcomes me!

I was so excited to be discussing bully prevention, awareness & inspiring kindness with the students from Haines Elementary School- and I brought my buddy Rainbow Rabbit!
I visited 8 different class rooms ranging from ages k- 2nd grade. 
This was the first time I would be introducing the story of the Rainbow Rabbit. I knew from reading it to my son the kids here would really enjoy it. From the moment I walked in each classroom the kids were so excited! They would run up to Rainbow Rabbit and touch him or say how pretty he was! Everyone wanted to hold him! Once the story began the kids were silent. Their eyes never left the pages. They loved how it rhymed and the bright colored illustrations. Every once in a while a child would react with "Oh no!" or "That's so sad!" during the parts where Rainbow Rabbit was being left out or was crying. They would cheer when there were happy parts, or when the princess helped him out- it was so sweet to see. They remained so interested from beginning to end. One of the things I loved the most was when I said " The End" the whole classroom cheered! They all told me how much they loved the story and how much they loved Rainbow Rabbit. One of my favorite comments from the day was when a few of the children said " If I saw someone who was sad because no one would play with them, I would ask them to come play with me." Mission accomplished :)

My son is turning one this month! That sentence has yet to completely sink in. I have been watching him walk around our living room these past two weeks, but not like I usually do - not necessarily on alert to shoo him away from the occasional uncovered outlet, or kick him out the utility room to stop him from eating his occasional snack of cat food- but just watching him. Taking it all in. He has his own very busy agenda these days- and it's absolutely amazing to me. There is no way he will ever know the joy he brings to my life, or the powerful love I have for him- that is until he has his own child himself. He'll never know the happiness I feel when he stumbles up to me with his arms open to give me a hug, or when he aggressively gives me one of his open mouth kisses on my cheek. I could literally sit and watch him learn and play all day long. It's so beautiful to me. And please tell me I am not the only one that will sit in the car and let my child finish his nap?? O...

My very first blog... I'm nervous!

This is so exciting for me! I'm officially a "blogger"! I'm not sure that is even the correct term?? Please forgive me - I'm learning as I go! I am so excited to share with you, a day in the life of me! I promise to keep it fun and interesting! I have a 10 month old son, and a husband of 1 year...how can life NOT be interesting? Between the toilet locks, the obstacle course of Lego's all over the carpet, and my husbands protein powder mess, I think I can manage to come up with a few things here and there. I'm excited to share our adventures and my simple message to "Be Kind. Make a Difference"- It's simple right?
