Was having a chat with Rachael today and she quoted your statistic of having 9 children in case 3 died, but couldn't remember where she had read it. We laughed when we realised that you were our common source of information!<br />JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-66698762455869920542010-04-21T17:19:53.730+10:002010-04-21T17:19:53.730+10:00firstly - did your daughter really climb that high...firstly - did your daughter really climb that high by herself?? If she did - she is awesome and my 5 year old son would love some tips :) <br /><br />Secondly - Chad and I are SO fiercely protective of our kids. maybe sometimes to much?? We do however give them LOTS of opportunity and allow them to be 'free' but pretty much always in an area where we are. Sometimes I feel bad cause we see all the neighborhood kids out playing in the street together (often getting into mischief I might add :) but unless either myself or Chad are out there too - we don't let them go out.....I guess our reasoning is the same as what Holly said in her second paragraph.<br /><br />good food for thought!!Felicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296785277458115433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-79404175101692685792010-04-21T16:39:53.866+10:002010-04-21T16:39:53.866+10:00I'm not much of a hover-er.

Spencer chops vegetables with me quite regularly and probably cuts himself 70% of the time, i find him over at the neighbors after 10mins of realizing i haven't heard him in a while and casually wander over another 10mins later...lissyalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440451612742863687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-63354394063383895582010-04-21T10:21:03.773+10:002010-04-21T10:21:03.773+10:00AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

The problem is me letting go not the boys (5, and 3years).<br /><br />I love the photo of Miss G. I automatically think "Don't you make me come up there and get you!!!

If something is making your nervous it could be the whisperings of the spirit.<br /> <br />Love ya B and appreciate your sharing.<br /> <br />x<br />HDelightful Domestic Sciencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05565570506045238228noreply@blogger.com
