Should a 3 yr old help with child birth?

When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk
for a year and a half. ~ Gracie Allen


Should children witness child birth?

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.



The house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Mia, a 3-year-old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her Mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.

Very diligently, Mia did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him his by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.

The paramedic then thanked Mia for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Mia quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place......... smack him again.

Raggedy is back

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. ~Charles M. Schulz

I tried to post on Tuesday August 8, 2006 that I would be away for the week but blogger was not cooperating.

I was not on my computer because I had a very special visitor, my Dad!



I miss him so much already….We had a wonderful time!

I will not post until Thursday Thirteen because I want to visit and catch up with everyone.

I am sorry I caused some of you concern. I have missed you!
