Another Proud Moment in Parenthood

In this time of excess and over-commercialism, I just witnessed something that made me very proud.

Baby Girl sat on the kitchen floor with paper, scissors, and string. Normally she does crafts and, in the process, makes a mess. So I warned her to clean up her "things" when she was done. When she was done she created a "man on a parachute." Mrs. KB told her she should use her Chuck E. Cheese coin as a weight. She was so excited she ran upstairs to launch it from the landing.

Mrs. KB said, "She made herself a toy out of paper and string... and she's so happy." I smiled as I heard BG exclaim "AWESOME!" It's times like these that I feel we're doing OK as parents.
