BUT I DID HAVE A GREAT MOTHERS DAY I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAD A GREAT ONE AS WELL, I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OF YOU WHO ARE GREAT EXAMPLE TO ME IN MY LIFE. I KNOW MY MOM IS ON OF THEM I LOVE HER SO MUCH, AS WELL AS MY SISTERS AND MOTHER IN LAW. I SAW THIS SOME WHERE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH  YOU.        HOW TO REALLY LOVE A CHILD....

BE THERE. SAY YES AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. LET THEM BANG ON POTS AND PANS. IF THERE CRABBY PUT THEM IN WATER. READ BOOKS OUT LOUD WITH JOY. GO FIND ELEPHANTS AND KISS THEM. ENCOURAGE SILLY. GIGGLE A LOT. REMEMBER HOW REALLY SMALL THEY ARE. SEARCH OUT THE POSITIVE. KEEP THE GLEAM IN YOUR EYES. GO SEE A MOVIE IN YOUR PJ'S. TEACH FEELINGS. REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE A CHILD. PLAN TO BUILD A ROCK SHIP. STOP YELLING. INVENT PLEASURE TOGETHER. SURPRISE THEM. EXPRESS YOUR LOVE. A LOT. CHILDREN ARE MIRACULOUS. 

 
                                WHEN IN DOUBT CHOOSE THE KIDS.
THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME LATER TO CHOOSE WORK.
