Here is a little bit of Averie's preschool March newsletter, it made me sad.
"During the month of March, we will be doing a special event to encourage parents to read to their preschoolers. Reading to your child is a good habit to get into on a daily/weekly basis. It helps your child to develop his/her vocabulary, plus your child will appreciate the time with you. "

reblogged 'scenes from my hood'
sometimes you have to make hard choices about people, between people.
this is something i firmly believe.
it has to do with loyalty.
yesterday meg and i discussed this.
even as adults, there are occasional complications
one friend will hurt another.
betrayal still happens.
we were discussing the impact that others’ unwillingness to take a position can have on a friendship.
i have, in the last year, minimized my contact with a few people who, when the going got tough, tried to play both sides.
as meg said yesterday “it’s not realistic to treat all friendships the same. you have to prioritize.”
this is exactly right.
the way i see it, you can’t walk down the middle your whole life
because it will keep you at a calculated distance from the people on either path.
