Worms

"Play with a child. There are only 6,574 days between a child’s birth and their eighteenth birthday. Don’t waste a single one."


I play with Mallory a great deal but this statistic is scary, a little sad. That doesn't really seem like many days.
Worms are not my thing. But Mallory has had a bit of an obsession over them lately. Probably stemming from playdoh. We all make worms cause they are so easy!

noticing all you young mothers on your blogs, reminds me when ours were babies and this poem was popular and very very true

Cleaning and cookiing can wait till tomorrow for babies grow we've learned to our sorrow, so settle down cobwebs and dust go to sleep, I 'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

AMEN
love you all tons and bunches

Cleaning and cooking can wait till tomorrow, for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow. So settle down cobwebs and dust go to sleep, I'm rocking my baby cause babies don't keep
