"Dare to wear the foolish clown face."

Frank Sinatra

don't be afraid to just let it all go

and be silly once in a while....

it deactivates the aging process!

THINK ABOUT IT THURSDAY....

we all take memorable pictures of the events in our lives.....

sometimes it's an intimate setting,

and sometimes it's out in public.

so have you ever stopped to wonder how

many STRANGERS you've taken pics of....

or better yet,

how many STRANGERS

pictures YOU'VE been in before???

like this precious little guy

crying over his birthday cake

we don't know...

or the lady on the right

looking right at the camera...

or this lady,
hurrying on her way
instead of watching the show...


or the nice lady behind us
smiling with excitement
over the fun of riding the elephant...


or this cute little man
enjoying a train ride....

THINK ABOUT IT!

lost in translation......

today i sat and tried to catch up on blogging...

noticing that i myself have not posted in such a long, long, time....

but low and behold, i had not a single idea in my head....all the while plagued at what i should be doing elsewhere.......

and staring me in the face is a handful of my son's new editions to his PEZ collection......

and then it hit me........

it's just a PEZ kinda day......

meaning, "dispense...one piece at a time."

i {heart} faces....let's hear it for the boys!

what's more 'boyish' than

CLIMBING!!!

sunday citar....swimming!!!

you DON'T need a BIG pool......

to have GREAT BIG FUN!

The water is your friend. You don't have to fight with water,

just share the same spirit as the water, and it

will help you move.

Aleksandr Popov

(check her out, she's awesome!!! http://kaishon.blogspot.com/)

i'm out of blog ideas so i'm using hers, which is parenting advice.....

this is scary territory to get into but what can you do when you're pressed for ideas, LOL??

now i'm no expert, given i only have one child under my belt....

but i have see so much of me in my son, and his father, and his grandmother, and his uncle....

so i have one philosophy with.......

let him be him!!!...

not who i want him to be, not who i'd like him to be......

but EXACTLY who he is!!!!

there's no one in life more unhappy than the person following someone else's dream!....antoinette m. williams

p.s. we're also striving to conquer the world of
potty training so we'd love that too!
