Thank you! And now I'm adding The Whole-Brain Child to my library/amazon list. Something about this story and the telling of stories to children as emotionally important strongly reminds me of one my favorite parenting books-- Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne. Have you read that one?sarah e.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13716363390221286512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390264642352778243.post-53262871773737615852014-10-21T19:15:38.853-07:002014-10-21T19:15:38.853-07:00Beautiful.Beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390264642352778243.post-64558744833264558472014-10-21T18:37:24.826-07:002014-10-21T18:37:24.826-07:00Ahhhhh!

Davey twisted both of his hands into the fitted sheet on his crib, so that he couldn't extricate them himself (he looked like he had sheets for hands). He was screaming bloody murder at 5:45 am, which promptly woke me up. I then rescued him from the clutches of the bed sheets. He sat on my lap for five minutes (he never does that) while I wiped his sweet little tears away. Is it bad for me to delight in such moments, as the event that caused my delight was so traumatic for my child? <br /><br />Also, I love that Jakey's story is so lyrical :) "I fall down ocean." Yea, man, we all fall down ocean.

I bet he was so cuddly.<br /><br />My daughter's first story involved a little lovey she called "da-doo" that our dog chewed the foot off of, and then I stitched it up. But it took me awhile to get to, so in the meantime I told her that da-doo hurt his foot and had to go to the doctor. She told the story for months: "da-doo foot sick. he go doctor. then he all better." It was so cute!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041027664418742667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390264642352778243.post-29314783871620723712014-10-21T12:21:01.639-07:002014-10-21T12:21:01.639-07:00I love those moments where you get to sit in the e...I love those moments where you get to sit in the eye of the storm of toddler insanity and just *enjoy* them... So sweet. <br /><br />Diego is at least partly the reason for my daughter's obsession with wild animals. The girl sees them everywhere. Pumas follow her around, she has bats in her pockets, and she to some extent believes that she is a cat named Pepito (although Pepito was a penguin in the series).
