I've been taking the time over the past couple of weeks to organize some of the clutter in our house, and have come to the realization that I could open up a mini resource library with all of the planning books I have. I must admit, I spent more time looking at my resources than organizing, as my daughter loves all of my planning books, too. I just can't help myself when it comes to instructional literature...especially for the younger children. Some of the fabulous recipes for homemade arts and crafts mediums have really come in handy right here at home. My friend Jenn is always calling me with thoughts about different things to do at home with her two year old, and when brainstorming, she's always asking "where do you get these ideas from?!" Some of it comes from all of my beloved books, but it is also what comes to me naturally. Sometimes my cousin teases me about the fact that I am now and adult, and yet still migrate toward the younger years. I can't walk past an educational toy shop without at least looking...and usually buying the newest, coolest things I can find. My parents tease me that we should put a sign up in the front of our house that advertises admission for "Kaitlynland", but the truth is, I have as much fun playing with her toys as she does. I am going to greatly miss the times I have with her as she ages, but have thouroughly lived in the moments we've had together at this marvelous, fabulous, wonderful time in her life called childhood.
