Wiped.

Jack is pukey and poopy. Yesterday was rough for him. He hid behind a chair, puked. We cleaned it up and less than 5 minutes later, he cries out in a world of hurt... splinter in his foot. From the firewood we drag in constantly for the fireplace, I'm sure. It was a bloody mess, a HUGE splinter that I pulled out. Part is still in his foot, and I am desperately hoping it comes out on its own in the next day or so. Otherwise, off to the dr. to remove it as I have read that its better not to put the child thru the torture of an untrained hand digging around for the splinter. Ugh. Feeling weak now. Usually the splinter will expel itself. Cross fingers.

Today we went to Unity Village and walked the labyrinth that is painted on a parking lot in front of the church. It was wonderful. I hope we can do this often in the winter.

Last, I wish I could connect with WIll. I am hoping more structure/rhythm (there is that word again) combined with some more movement activities in the Enki curriculum will hellp us. He wears me out, emotionally, physically. Everything.

Off to read.

Current reads for me include:
My Enki Teaching Guides!!!

The Wisdom of Solitude:A Zen Retreat in the Woods


The Soul's Code: In Search of Character and Calling

Soul's Code has been put on the back burner though since my Enki Guides have arrived. But so far I have LOVED it!

I particularly keep in mind Picasso's quote:

I don't develop. I am.

Kinda Zen, huh?. : )

The boys are reading:
Enki Nature Stories! The first story read read - no pictures at all- had them entralled. I wondered how well they would accept reading with no pictures to look at but it was only slightly questioned and easily accepted.


The Cobweb Christmas


The Children's Book of Virtues

And thier favorite dogs, Spot and Clifford:
