I can’t believe I forgot to tell you that my baby, Luna Pie, is walking. She’s been doing it for close to 2 weeks now.
As it turns out, I missed her first steps even though I was in the same room as her when she took them. I was folding laundry and the TV was on. My hands were on the laundry, my eyes were on the TV, Luna Pie was standing next to me and all of a sudden she was in front of me taking the last of what had been probably 10 steps. I hit rewind in my peripheral memory vision and realized that her head had never left what is standing level for her. I was so bummed. I wasn’t even watching something good like, Let’s Make a Deal. I don’t even like watching TV during the day. I blame it on the laundry.
Now, for your viewing pleasure…
Her joy and perserverance remind me that you should focus on the journey, not the destination.

By now, you’ve probably seen the video of the father that shoots his daughter’s laptop to teach her a lesson, Facebook Parenting: for the Troubled Teen. If you haven’t, you can watch it below. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Now I’m not sure how I feel about this father’s response to his daughter’s behavior, but I do know that I very rarely watch a youtube video that is over 8 minutes long and this one kept me watching until the end. I found it sort of mesmerizing.
I’ve always been a bit uncomfortable when it comes to guns in general, so it would never occur to me to introduce a gun as a tool to administer a form of punishment. Don’t worry, I am fully aware that : Guns don’t kill laptops, angry gun-owning dads kill laptops. Still I can’t help but feel for that poor wasted and recently upgraded laptop that met an untimely end. What a waste of a laptop, there are computer-less children all over the world that could have adopted it.
I’ve always been of the belief that violence begets violence (even if it is just violence against a laptop) and as if to prove my point, Beta Dad posted the following humorous-spoof-response video:

A few weeks ago my MIL sent us a magnet with 101 Ways to Praise a Child on it and I thought it would be nice to create a Spanish/English alternative because praise is nice, but praise in two languages is even nicer.
Please share and download a free printable version of 101 Ways to Praise a Bilingual Child.
