Today Present Party!!!

What is a TODAY PRESENT PARTY you ask?

The TODAY PRESENT PARTY is a great way for kids to have some fun and for families to connect. Every kid attending will create yummy works of art by decorating cupcakes that they will take with them as a present to give away to someone else, teaching them about the importance of giving back and how little gestures can make a big difference in someone's day.

Robin from One Big Earth, Jen from the Sugarheads and Karen from McKinnon Photography conceived of the idea because they wanted to do something fun and meaningful to thank all those that support our endeavors and are all big fans of building our community. They also all like throwing a little magic out there!
Of course, as well as creating cupcakes to give you will also receive a little gift from them just for attending. Cupcakes to indulge in and eat right away will also be available for sale at the party.

My favorite things about this event is that it is FREE!

So mark your calendar, in a big red marker.

Where: McKinnon Photography studio
When: May 23 - 11 a.m to 3 p.m.

The F word

Well when I picked Kristina up from the bus stop on Thursday she had a note for me. It was labeled to the parents of Kristina Watson. I opened it up and read that a little boy had overheard Kristina saying F'ing Bit**s to a few girls and had run into the school to tell the teacher.

Wowzers!

Apparently the girls hadn't been playing with Kristina for a few days and kept running away from her, poor thing. And this day they pinkie promised Kristina that they would play with her. They changed there minds I guess and ran away, so in a bout of anger Kristina says she said Fricking! Not as bad but still obviously not good.

Kristina had to go down to the principals office and discuss what had happened. She told her side, and they discussed ways on reacting differently and then was given the note to fill in and take home.

Well that night Kristina and I had a long talk about it and what to do next time. She seemed to really understand it all and she was going to meet with the school counselor the next day with all of the girls and try to sort it all out.

Kristina has been having some meetings with this counsellor since everything that happened with Laila and its been going quite well. She had been giving Kristina all sorts of tools to work with on being a good friend and such.

I called the following day to talk to the counsellor and make sure that they knew that I was obviously concerned and to decide on a game plan to move forward. She had already had the meeting with the girls and it went very well she said. She is going to continue to work with Kristina and the girls on teaching them how to deal with frustration, being a good friend, and all those little grey areas!

I was very pleased though to hear from the counsellor and she thinks that Kristina is a very kind hearted, generous, and loving little girl. Its nice to hear that from someone who isn't biased. It seems we will always be working with our kids on things, the teaching never stops, but we are doing a good job!

Thank God!!!

No more training wheels!!!

On Tuesday night my mom came over for dinner, she had to bring a few ingredients though as we didn't have any left! Opps! :) We had a nice dinner and then went to show my mom the new ducks and Kristinas new bike, with no training wheels! She wanted me to push her around the driveway to show my mom how she was doing.

I was holding onto her shirt and my mom suggested that I hold onto the seat, smart woman! So we did two laps and then my mom did one. She was doing great but needed to look where she was going and not look down and she would be able to balance better. My mom took her over to the grass to try it on her own, Kristina was so excited! She did really good right off the bat and could go 10 or so feet. It didn't take long for her to pick up on it. Soon she was going from the far corner of the greenhouse, around the garden and over to Grannys garden. It was awesome, I knew she would pick it up fast, but I had no idea how fast.

She was so proud of herself! Nana and I were very proud too! It was great that my mom was here to see her achieve it! It was however to bad that Kris wasn't, he was over visiting Uncle Bruce and Auntie Mickey but he has 137 pics to show it all! Yes this new camera takes a lot of pics and fast!!! She was very cute, she started out showing us where her goal would be, they are learning about goal setting in school, and then achieved it right away and then surpassed it! Way to go baby!!!
