Hanna's Haircut

As an Early Childhood Educator in college, I was taught to say, “yes” to toddlers as often as possible. Well, now I’m a mom of teens and I feel teenagers need to hear, “yes” way more than young children need to hear it. Mom can I pierce my ears? “Yes”. Mom can I dye my hair, “yes”. Mom can I shave my head? “Yes”. Does this mean my child is out of control? No! We talked about the consequences, we talked through her reasons, we talked about different situations she may feel uncomfortable in, but guess what she still wanted to do it, so dad shaved it for her. Some great advice I’ve learned from the Light the Fight podcast is to “Err on the side of the relationship”. There was no fight or argument over these situations, we had respectful conversations and then said, “yes”! Let’s try and say, “yes” to our teenagers more often.

Happy 9th Birthday Clark

We celebrated Clark's 9th Birthday yesterday at the park. He asked for an Amungus cake, a bike/scooter riding party at the park and his favorite pepperoni pizza from Little Caceres for dinner. 

Happy Birthday Clark, we love you so much!

Happy Valentine's Day

  We celebrated our traditional Valentine's Date Night with the Leavitt's last night. We ate at Lazy Dog's, it was the only place we could get a reservation at. This was our 14th year in a row. 

Clark Misc

It snowed in Vegas!

Our friends on the North side of Vegas got way more snow than us, 

but Clark was happy he was able to build a tiny snowman.

 

We got another car.

Clark got to go back to school, it's almost been a year! 

He grew 2 sizes in the past year!

Ready for school!

He was happy to be back in class!
