Theater Camp Update

Phoebe's been having a great time at camp. There are a lot of teenage girls and they've been very motherly to her. She's been coming home every day, tired and happy. She's painted, sang, acted and loved every minute! Yesterday their acting class was a mime game. That's her favorite. She makes miming fun and not annoying.

Tonight is their recital. I'm so excited to see her up there with all the other kids. If it goes well we're thinking about signing her up for the fall program. It will be a time commitment, but it seems like a great program for her to be in.

It's been a tiring week for us all. I feel like it just passed so quickly, trying to get her to bed at a decent time and getting her up early in the morning. It's probably what it will be like when she goes to school this fall. I'm looking forward to it. It's so cool to watch her grow up. The way she talks is so funny, I wish I could bottle it up forever.

On another note, I managed to get through yesterday without my cafe mocha in the morning. I started to get tired after lunch I almost got one, but I managed to hold out. I'm very proud of myself.

You have a daily cafe mocha? And you're so slender! I am impressed, for me the mocha is a big treat. I've been trying to cut back to 2 cups a day. Alas, I have fallen off the wagon this morning because I went to a Tastefully Simple party last night, was up late, and had to go to work this morning (Friday). Sigh, there's always next week, but I know that if my fertility tests look good and I'm trying to get pregnant or do actually get pregnat that cofee will have to go.

That sounds like a great program. I wish we had something like that by us that took place in the evenings. Everything remotely similar is during the day. UGH>

Belle takes dance on a weekly basis and has a recital every June. She has now done it for 3 years and she loves it. They are so fun to watch when they are so into something and bubble over with excitement and exhaustion.

Camp sounds great...can I go :-) It sounds like a wonderful time. I hope her recital goes well.

Make sure you get some recordings of your daughter talking - suddenly, all of the mispronounced and gibberish words disappear, and while they will live in your memory forever, recordings are great. We never did that with M, and I totally wish we had.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
