Warm fuzzies
I've been thinking about things I can do to help the atmosphere in our home (or grandma's home!!). The feelings of cooperativeness and love need to increase and the feelings of anger need to decrease. Since I know that everything starts with me, I need to make some changes in myself in order for those changes to occur in my family. I had a thought this morning of looking for "warm fuzzies" that my children give me each day. Look for them and let them cause my love for that child to grow. I'm know that I will need to do more than this, but it is a start.
Warm fuzzy for the day (on of them): I walk in the bathroom and see a pile of band-aids on the floor. Kennedy has been practicing putting on her own, again. I just thought of how she wants to be independent and be grown up. It just made me smile:)

Woman,
Sometimes you really have to look for them and other times they come on their own. Like the other day, we are rushing out to carpool before I was leaving on my trip. I had already kissed and hugged each kid multiple times. A few seconds later, Bryton comes running in . . . Mom I just need one more hug. Now that is the stuff I do this "Mom thing" for! Love you. Keep doing that thing you do. I am proud to know you.
Love it.
And I love your new blog name...I chuckled out loud. Love you!
The new name was Todd's idea. In our last branch, one of the kids he taught came up to him and told him that not only did "CTR" stand for "Choose the Right," but also for "Count the Rodriguezes." It stuck!
Ditto, I love the new name.
And, Bente, I have to say that you just AMAZE me. You have this incredibly wise and loving heart, and I am so SO incredibly grateful you were willing to bless us with it this past week. I love that you can look at a pile of Band-Aids and see a child's independence. I am always learning from your example.
