emma and her two wheeler...finally!

A few months ago, Emma decided she was not a bike rider. so much so that we donated her princess bike to charity. however, last weekend, she calls me outside to show me that she can ride Piper's two wheeler! low and behold...bike rider...no training wheels. Peer pressure at its best!

Can't take them anywhere!!!

You would think that the children of a chef would know how to behave in a restaurant!! HAHA!

School pix are in!

what's missing from this picture?

Parenting

"Take a moment to listen today, to what your children are trying to say.
Listen today, whatever you do, or they won't be there to listen to you.
Listen to their problems, listen to their needs; Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their smallest deeds.
Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter, find out what's the matter, find out what they're after.
But tell them that you love them, every single night, and though you scold them, be sure you hold them tight.
Tell them, Everythings's all right, tomorrow's looking bright!
Take a moment to listen today, to what your children are trying to say.
Listen today, whatever you do, and they will come back to listen to you.
