Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family.

And you can find Rage Against the Minivan here. . . .
Life Lately
We finally got in to see the specialist. It's a re-break of his fall football injury. Casted up to his armpit. 😩 Can't wait for Mary Anne to save the day ... As parents it's really important to adjust the language we are using around disappointments for our kids, because we are modeling how they will process all of this. I have two athletes. Sports being canceled. . . it sucks. It's frustrating. But will it ruin their mental health? Not if we can reframe it. Not if we can find other ways . . .

Pass the Mic with Alicia T. Crosby

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2009. India is in a stage where she is sorting and categorizing everything she sees. She likes looking at things in her world and pointing out the things that are the same, and then the things that are different. It's a great skill for her to be developing at this age (and probably one bolstered by lots and lots of Sesame Street). However.
