Gideon - 5 Month

 
M(om): Good morning, my smiley boy! How are you doing now that you are 5 months old?

G(ideon): I am doing great, mom! I just love to see you. That is why I smile so much.

M: I love to see your smiles and hear all the stories you have to tell me. So, what things have you been up to this last month?

G: Well, I have certainly been going more places, we bring Joash to school often and I have gone to a few  craft markets with you. I have even gone swimming a few times.
M: You certainly do seem to like swimming. And I am so thankful that you are so easy going and that you don't seem to mind going all of the places with me. What else have you been up too?

G: Dad let me taste a pear one day. Wow! That was so good. I really didn't want to stop eating it.
M: I know, you were a bit sad when we took it away. I think you will like solid foods when you can start them soon. We have to keep working on your sitting muscles so you can start those in a month or so.

G: That sounds good! I also really like my excersaucer and I have been having fun playing with the toys and watching everyone around me.






M: You do a good job playing and trying to keep up with everyone, but some times, by the end of the day, you are just finished. I hope you have a great day today!

G: Thanks, mom. I hope you do too. Can I have a little snuggle now?

M: Sure you can. I love you buddy!

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.

A Little Morning Staycation

So, way back over March Break, the local CBC had several March Break Stay-cation give aways. For the family pass for a Cows Creamery tour, you had call in a moo. My husband called from the barn and was one of the entries chosen to be played on the radio. And he name was also one of the random entries drawn to win the prize. We were supposed to go on a tour of the creamery during March Break, but a crazy snowstorm hit that day. so they told us just to stop in any time during the summer to use our pass. So, we finally went today.  Before we left, we told Joash we had a surprise for him today. "What is it?" he asked. We said that he would have to wait and see. "Is it a silage cart?" he asked. Can you tell what our dinner time conversations have been about lately? We had a nice tour and enjoyed the free samples. We decided to get an early lunch at The Big Orange Lunchbox. Wow! It was very yummy! I am telling you, if you are on PEI and you like a good burger and h...
