Tuesday SOL 12/8/15 - Working Together


While we were visiting Michelle's over Thanksgiving week, the girls (M & P) gave us some incite as to how to work together.  At 5-1/2, their minds are going non-stop, always investigating and trying to figure out how to do something.

We were in the kitchen talking when M screamed "Dad, there's a bug in the house!".  Dad went to check it out, only to discover a fly.  Dad calmly said, "Don't worry, it only a little fly".  He came back to our conversation.  We thought that was the end of the bug/fly, but the girls quietly plotted how they were going to catch this fly and "keep it safe".

About 15 minutes later, they came scurrying into the kitchen to announce they had captured the fly and placed it in a clear plastic box with a kleenex for its bed.  They then described how they made a small ramp to "lure" this tiny creature into the box.  They were so proud of themselves to devise such a plan and have it come to fruition.

The minds of these two 5-1/2 year olds is unbelievable.  Working together they accomplished a daunting task.  No more fly in the house.  How many more things will they be able to accomplish over their lifetime, working together.

    Love this. When great minds work together a solution to a problem can be found.

    Two minds together, double the creativity and fun. I can't believe the girls are so big already, almost approaching six.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
