Remember back when we were kids & our parents would proudly display our accomplishments on the refrigerator? Things we'd done would magically appear on the frig - things like report cards, school projects & crafts we'd made. We were so proud & felt so good about ourselves. I think it's a great tradition.I've been giving "the frig" lots of thought as I parent. What things do I want my daughter to recognize as special accomplishments? Typically we hang things on the frig that other people can see & applaud. But I think I want to celebrate some other things with her - things that others may not be able to see. Things like . . .
- knowing what she really enjoys doing & doing it with zest
- knowing her limits & living within them
- being able to recognize her emotions
- recognizing how her physical body is feeling in any given moment
- being who she really is
love it... and love the new photo
