They need to be healthy, happy, well-adjusted, polite, kind and compassionate.period. Blessed is the child that is yours Missy, what a fab mommy you will be. Paige has an excellent example in her big sister. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, it reminds me of what I never want to do to my children!<br /><br />Your pics are gorgeous as always.<br /><br />Love you, girl!<br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089748446952275001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300781810316227275.post-40766791474013369282009-07-24T12:43:06.429-07:002009-07-24T12:43:06.429-07:00Wow....some Mom's are CRAZY!

We are all of us equal in God's eyes. And the chances of a child growing up to actually play college baseball, much less professional baseball - think of the statistics... kinda puts that comment and heated discussion into perspective, doesn't it?a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300781810316227275.post-75844819781233060312009-07-17T20:07:40.155-07:002009-07-17T20:07:40.155-07:00Isn't it amazing, Missy.

Sometimes I just can't bare the waiting rooms listening to the moms and their competitive talk and child (self) centered conversations. Not a good example for our children!<br />Hugs. I so hope my girls have teachers like you along the way.<br />Love the photos as always.

(If I am ever in your neck of the woods, I am definitely gonna have you take some pics of Zoe!)<br /><br />I'm right there with you. As teachers we work so hard to get kids self-esteeem built up as well as help them overcome their failures. Wow! Not so sure I would have been able to keep my mouth shut like you did. I think you should do the "random positives" - that's what I call it in my classroom - activity next time you're at the pool. Report back. I'd love to know what the reaction was!!!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451044442403518093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300781810316227275.post-193671221301339682009-07-17T07:01:40.579-07:002009-07-17T07:01:40.579-07:00I can't imagine a parent acting that way.
