Being the mom to 3 boys, I have learned cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

A Luke Only Day

Luke and I have joined a play group for toddlers/preschoolers.  While Luke enjoys his time at the park, I can tell he misses his brother on outings like this.  Luke is a rough and tumble kiddo and the kids that are his age in this gorup are girls that like to sit and "talk" already!
I could also tell that I'm a mom of 2 boys.  My boys are "allowed" to challenge themselves on the play equipment.  My boys hang from monkey bars, ride the zip line, hang upside down, and slide down the fireman's pole.  My philosophy is "it's not a matter of IF we have to go to the emergency room, but WHEN."  I don't hover over my boys at the park telling them to be careful or not to do something.  Maybe I would be different if I had a daughter.

You do a great job with your boys! I think as their Momma you know just what they need. Dominic has come a LONG way & I think your parenting style has everything to do with that!

Yay for play groups! Brynn & I are doing a Mommy & Me, & then the three of us have joined a Couples with Kids. So far we are so glad we took this step. Just being careful not to overbook ourselves! Also, met a young couple three houses down this week. We have been discussing visiting some churches to find a church home here. Well, this guy is the Youth Leader/Pastor at a Non-Denominational Christian based church.

Talk to you soon.
