Lindsay's creativity comes through in song and dance but she might become interested in sewing later. She'll call you one day and ask if you can come over and help her make curtains and you'll be squealing "I've been waiting for this Linds!"Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620887745671844367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26895493.post-24812409731266440192008-03-27T08:38:00.000-05:002008-03-27T08:38:00.000-05:00Miss Pinky likes to draw way more than I do.

She likes to do a lot of things and that's great for someone like me who also likes to do a lot of things. You have great kids!

I agree with you on all of your points, especially the computer-generated sinkhole that is marketed as creative play.<BR/><BR/>I'm so tickled to know how it all turned out with your kids. They never fail to amaze, huh? What I presuppose with one the other proves me wrong. My kids are 19 months apart, and it's a wild ride. Tell me I will sleep at some point?!?<BR/><BR/>I appreciate very much the kind words, especially coming from you. You know I'm a big fan!<BR/><BR/>xox<BR/>DianaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482730859647987624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26895493.post-85443284346637647952008-03-26T15:14:00.000-05:002008-03-26T15:14:00.000-05:00Very thought provoking.

I tried hard to encourage my children to create what's in their own hearts and imagination when they were little.Junie Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561131734782279400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26895493.post-22051094458391395762008-03-26T10:13:00.000-05:002008-03-26T10:13:00.000-05:00I remember how fun it was when my son was little. ...I remember how fun it was when my son was little.

It can be wonderful, but it drives me crazy when she raids my craft supplies, and then when I go to use it, everything is gone or a huge mess!! AARGH!!!!! We're never satisfied I guess. LOL!
