NINETEEN SOMETHINGS TO SAY TO CHILDREN

NINETEEN SOMETHINGS TO SAY TO CHILDREN

1. I love you! There is nothing that will make me stop loving you. Nothing you could do or say or think will ever change that.

2. You are amazing! I look at you with wonder! Not just at what you can do, but who you are. There is no one like you. No one!

3. It's all right to cry. People cry for all kinds of reasons: when they are hurt, sad, glad, or worried; when they are angry, afraid, or lonely. Big people cry too. I do.

4. You've made a mistake. That was wrong. People make mistakes. I do. Is it something we can fix? What can we do? It's all over. You can start fresh. I know you are sorry. I forgive you.

5. You did the right thing. That was scary or hard. Even though it wasn't easy, you did it. I am proud of you; you should be too.

6. I'm sorry. Forgive me. I made a mistake.

7. You can change your mind. It's good to decide, but it is also fine to change.

8. What a great idea! You were really thinking! How did you come up with that? Tell

me more. Your mind is clever!

9. That was kind. You did something helpful and thoughtful for that person. That must make you feel good inside. Thank you!

10. I have a surprise for you. It's not your birthday. It's for no reason at all. Just a surprise, a little one, but a surprise.

11. I can wait. We have time. You don't have to hurry this time.

12. What would you like to do? It's your turn to pick. You have great ideas. It's important to follow your special interests.

13. Tell me about it. I'd like to hear more. And then what happened? I'll listen.

14. I'm right here. I won't leave without saying good-bye. I am watching you. I am listening to you.

15. Please and Thank You. These are important words. If I forget to use them, will you remind me?

16. I missed you. I think about you when we are not together!

17. Just try. A little bit. One taste, one step. You might like it. Let's see. I'll help you if you need it. I think you can do it.

18. I'll help you. I heard you call me, here I am. How can I help you? If we both work together, we can get this done. I know you can do it by yourself, but I'm glad to help since you asked.

19. What do you wish for? Even if it's not yet time for birthday candles and we don't have a wishbone, it's still fun to hear about what you wish for, hope for, and dream about.

News of the day....

1. Heather has some GREAT new photos and videos on her pages.. check out reddirtdiaries.com
   
2. Help me encourage her to buy a better camera... she is truly great at getting the shot - now she just needs a better tool... haha... 'nough said... I am sure I will suffer for this.. haha...
3. Did you hear....??? Young man who started Facebook in his room online, was offered 1 BILLION dollars for it from Yahoo and Turned It Down! Well, today Microsoft and he announced a new partnership between the two... folks are saying he got about the same dollars for half from them.... who knew... and this was started 4 years after myspace...
4. One more did you hear... a town, I missed the name on news on fox this am, has before it a wondered resolution and are thinking of taking it and making it law... NO PRODUCTS FROM CHINA INSIDE THEIR CITY LIMITS ... OFFERED FOR SALE!! Now folks these are smart folks... Imagine how we are losing rights everyday... like no longer can one fight chickens, smoke... etc... things our fore fathers did everyday... and gave their lives to protect us from harm.... so they could enjoy... now finally someone is looking at something and realizing perhaps this is a smart move, to ban products from a country that is trying to kill us and take us over.... I bet if you looked at all the deaths related to products from china... ie, tires, cars, on and on.. you would be amazed at how many there are and NOTHING has been done... now one US city is taking a stand on something that should have a stand taken on...
5. Austyn Moffat sold over 2600.00 dollars in popcorn for Cub Scouts this year.. I am sure he will be high seller....

O E McAnally farm

Some friends of ours, the McAnnllys are turning off the lights....

This photo says it all.... haha...

Our friends, Bob and Sharon Priess, go to the lake throughout the summer and pull their travel trailer and their boat. They were at the lake last weekend with Grandsons and the kiddos wanted to build a fort so Bob said have at it..... and they did...
I was telling Bob about our friends, the Hannan's, buying a nice travel trailer...

Bob remembered this photo on his camera and I had to pull it off for Craig and Missy. The kiddos built their fort and did not realize what they were building.... Craig, this is a photo of the 'redneck travel trailer wheel chock'... what a deal huh? just click photo to enlarge and see how this might work as a wheel block to stop a trailer from rolling... hahaha...

rock on... Bob says 'HI' to all....

Taken by Ann at Kaitlyn's Birthday in Roff Sunday, starts with birthday cake .. scroll down, hehe...
