New Supplies!
Posted: November 11, 2011 Filed under: Child Centered Activities 2 CommentsMy cast was changed today and we brought my daughter to watch the process. It’s only fitting as she is now a bandaging expert at home! Our beloved nurse hooked E up with a bag of hospital items to add to her “Doctor Kit”.
Time = Love
Posted: November 8, 2011 Filed under: Child Centered Activities, Chronicles of a First Time Parent 3 CommentsYesterday we had a caregiver come to the house and help with my daughter while David worked. She said that in all her years being a nanny, she has learned the most loving gift you can give your child is your time. Makes sense to me.

Giraffes in Progress
Posted: November 1, 2011 Filed under: Art & Healing, Child Centered Activities 2 CommentsMore than a decade ago, my School of the Art Institute mentor, Don Seiden (you can find his link on our blogroll), introduced me to the world of foil and masking tape sculpture. It is an additive process which I expect to complete using acrylic paints.

“It’s OK Bunny, It’s OK.”
Posted: October 21, 2011 Filed under: Art & Healing, Child Centered Activities 2 CommentsDr’s appt and new cast for me yesterday brings another round of lovies w/”boo-boos”.
We took photos of my casting process and shared with my daughter. 
Using her own methods, she repeated process with her babies, gently telling them “it is OK” over and over again.
