1st Lost Tooth

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

It happened on 7/3/13, another reminder to me that my children are growing up!!!  I knew it would be any day since her tooth was barely hanging on.  My daughter was sitting at the dinner table and while eating she said, "my tooth came out!"  She was grinning from ear to ear and so thrilled.  Even with a little blood there were no tears but just excitement!  YAY!  

I know the second tooth will be out soon too.  Soon she will enter that awkward tooth stage.  You know the one that creates funny smiles!

Dear Selah,
It was so fun watching your excitement when you first realized you had a lose tooth to the end when you lost it.  I am amazed at your maturity at 5 years old. I will continue to pray for you and your bright future but my heart wants to hang on to you and not allow you to get any older.  Maybe it's a protection thing, maybe it's myself who does not want to get older, or maybe its my way of not wanting the world to hurt or cause you pain as you get older.  All I can tell you is I will always be praying for you, I will always be your #1 fan, and I will try my hardest to protect you.  As I watch you grow up I watch you fall more and more in love with Jesus and I pray that I would always be held accountable in raising you in TRUTH, teaching you who you are in Christ!  You my sweet little girl are royalty, a princess of the most high God, and you my dear will shake history- You are a world changer!  I know God has big plans for you- I am having fun watching Him already use you.  

I love you and I am excited for you to use your cool coupons for losing your first tooth.  

Love Mommy

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared  teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
