Big Trucks!

My son and I took an awesome field trip today. We visited a local fire station. At near 2 years old, he has an infatuation with fire trucks, school buses and most large vehicles. The fire fighters were very receptive to us dropping in unannounced and allowed my boy to sit in the driver's seat of one of the large engines. Although he has no comprehension of what really goes on with this beautiful vehicle, he was thrilled beyond belief.

If you have a chance to do something like this with your child, I highly recommend it. He hasn't stopped talking about it since we left. This is a trip we will be making again in the very near future.

Everyday Love

There is no question that the love of a child is an everyday thing that cannot be duplicated. How do you show that love in return? No matter how many other things we get wrong as parents, "love" is the one thing we need to get right. You may do little things wrong often, but nurturing your child with love and affection will give them confidence and security that will later enable them to overcome obstacles.
