I feel a sense of longing for some of those sweet things. It seems like the rule of society today is "obnoxious" (Bart Simpson for example). It isn't that I don't appreciate the relaxed comfort that our homes are today, because that is very nice, but that there simply is not even a hint of these sweet mannerisms left. So sad.<br />I love you<br />MomPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962395509313703071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794168398390955587.post-47750203118490105782010-05-14T12:45:09.183-07:002010-05-14T12:45:09.183-07:00Davene I agree about it being a constant process a...Davene I agree about it being a constant process and I can see how well you have brought up all your boys. They are little delights. <br /><br />This post was more in reference to parents who do nothing in the bringing up of their children and many families that I used to work for.<br /><br />I would hold you up as an excellent example in raising your kids :P<br /><br />And thank you! Yes, my Mother's Day was delightful! I am enjoying motherhood immensely! :)<br /><br />Much love and God bless sweet Davene!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274826522846464086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794168398390955587.post-28446757499115645842010-05-13T20:47:27.326-07:002010-05-13T20:47:27.326-07:00This made me smile, especially the line about &quo...This made me smile, especially the line about "flop this way and that in their chairs." Oops. I think that describes my boys sometimes. :)<br /><br />Fortunately, most of their table silliness comes out during lunch, when no adult is here but me. At supper, when more adults are present and we're trying to have a civilized conversation, they act a little more dignified. :)<br /><br />Seriously though, it is a constant process of training to ensure that they act in ways that are polite and kind and appropriate for each situation.<br /><br />Anyway... I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. There's something so very special about the first official Mother's Day for a woman, I think. :)Davenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261854803640120972noreply@blogger.com
