House Warming

My Brother and Sister in law recently bought a house and invited my 5 year old daughter and I to their house warming.

My daughter asked my brother what time they were warming the house so she could show up when it cooled off!

Earth Hour

Hannah spent earth hour in the dark with her flashlight and candles playing go fish with her Great Gramma.

She bought packages of seeds for the loot bags for her birthday party in April; this way she said that when Earth Day comes her classmates can plant their own flowers.

Through the eyes of my child

Through the eyes of my child;

The other day my daughter asked me to buy a hat and mitts for a fellow classmate because she hated to see her so cold. We went to the store together she picked out a set and went to the cash by herself and paid for them.

She put them in her back pack and brought them to school for the little girl. " Now she won't be so cold mommy" Yesterday she put some clothes in a bag for school in case someone has an accident and needed to change, she also told her teacher she had costumes in case somebody wants to be Dora or a devil for Hallowe'en.

My daughter willingly gives all her out grown clothes and toys to her Nana's friend who has two little girls who lost everything in a fire, she puts everything in bags, boots, shoes and outfits and calls her Nana to bring them to her friend. She helps me around the house, folding clothes, making beds, even vacuuming.

She is so thoughtful, so caring, very compassionate and hates to see others sad, She'll make pictures for the elderly lady across the hall just to brighten her day, she phones her grandparents just to tell them she loves them, she snuggles and is very honest, always ready to give a compliment and put a smile on everyones face. Her teacher was so impressed that a four year old could be this caring, she wants to use my daughter as an example for the rest of the class.

She puts spare change in the plastic dogs for the blind, she is very polite and has great manners! She amazes me and lives for the moment. I forget how innocent a child can be, how I wish life could be seen through the eyes of a child, pretty rainbows and sunny days where Mommy keeps you safe and nights filled with sweet dreams. My Grandmother says my daughter is good medicine, she is an angel in disguise. She makes me remember that I too was just like her and even though life throws a few curve balls, the one thing that you can always rely on is the love from your child, Being a mom cannot be compared to anything, if only they could stay that innocent and non judgemental.

We can learn to relax and go with the flow to remember when we were a child and let out the inner child in all of us, we can learn to be more giving and not expect anything in return, we can learn to be more loving and always say we love that person before we walk out the door, we can take the time to take "baby" steps and open our eyes and absorb what the world has to offer, We as adults take little things for granted and My daughter reminds me to just breathe, and smell the roses rather than walk by to take a moment and really see things for what they are and the beauty within.

Humour

We borrowed my dad`s van, and met him for coffee at Tim Hortons; the place was packed, Hannah my then 3 year old runs in ``Grampa you have hookers in the back of your van``. (Hookers are actually the hooks to hang stuff) The look on my Dad`s face was priceless!
