It's always the smallest things that happen that make me stop and think - wow I love being a mom. I just got home from a run, and Carson had fallen asleep in the stroller. I picked him up (and he got up, looking around, a tad confused, but smiled when he saw me and stretched his arms towards me) and then he just rested his chin on my shoulder, then his head fell ever so slightly and I looked in the mirror and he was asleep. How freaking cute is that.
Honestly, it's so true. Each stage is that much better then the last. At the time you think it's the best age ever, and then the next month you realize that it's going to get just that much better every day.
I was talking to my friend Mike last night, who has a little boy Jack who is 4 months. He was talking about how amazing baby smiles are. And I realized, that's when I started to REALLY enjoy being a mom. When Carson started to have a personality, when he was able to give back to me. And the rewards just keep coming.

Hi Christy,
I found your blog by googling "Kanata parents". I hope you don't mind me sending this information to you.
What can I do as a parent to enable my child to realize his or her full potential, whatever that potential may be?
I asked myself this question more than 20 years ago. I have compressed the answer into an intensive 2-½ hour workshop, offered for the first time on November 29.
Intuitive Parenting: Tap the Hidden Potential in Your Child
Overview:
There is tremendous potential in any child. Parents are taught a natural way to encourage this potential to emerge and unfold.
All parents have an intuitive sense of raising children, yet very few use it. The workshop explores intuition, what it is and how to cultivate it.
The workshop material is a practical blend of theory, strategies and exercises that parents can easily adapt to their own needs or circumstances.
There is no rocket science here! Quite the opposite, these are simple principles that should resonate with any parent.
Instructor:
I am a professional engineer and have developed this workshop from my experience in raising three adult sons, recent findings in the field of cognitive neuroscience and simple principles in nature.
For further details about the workshop or the instructors background/qualifications see www.IntuitiveParenting.ca.
Date:
Thursday November 29, 7:00 to 9:30 pm
Location:
Ottawa Talent Initiative Action Centre
359 Terry Fox Drive (at Legget Dr.)
Suite 210
Ottawa, Ontario K2K 2E7
Cost:
The workshop is being offered this time only at no charge.
Registration:
The workshop has been developed for parents having one or more children 7 years of age or younger.

Register by calling 613-726-2656, or email keith@intuitiveparenting.ca. Please provide your name, email, phone number, number of children and their ages.
I look forward to seeing you on the 29th,
Keith
