Maybe It Does Take a Village

My daughter is moving through a touchpoint of learning, growth and independence (and doing rather well I might add!).

My husband and I love and cherish her and I know that we will move through this touchpoint as we have done in the past and as we will surely do in the future (unless of course the last touchpoint is at age 7!) I also know that we would not be able to support our daughter like we do without people supporting us as individuals, as parents and as a family.

So to our family, friends, neighbors, one super first grade teacher, an equally wonderful principal, our day care providers and more - thank you!

you know...i don't have kids. but i do have 'adopted nieces and nephews.' and i've found myself on several occasions thinking, "i guess it does take a village."

because there are many times where a bunch of us might be out at one event or another, and the parents might be busy with one responsibility or another. and the thing is, there are those of us around them that will watch out for their kids as well. and we know, and respect, what rules and expectations they have for their children, and hold to that as well.

and really, i think that's pretty cool.
and how loved are those kids going to feel as they grow up with so many people so invested in them and their futures around them?

all the best!
