Catching Ziva

Last night's guest of honor was Funny girl Ziva with her Ate Sofia who is a regular. The 3J's are mainstays. 

I lured her with stories that did not make sense but children can always make sense out of our nonsense! 

So my effort for the night was a big seal of approval from a very discriminating little person. She fell asleep figuring out my stories. Sweet dreams I guess. 

She woke up as bright as the morning sun.

Sunlight and lots of love  make a child grow. Tough love does the trick too. Balancing the brain, body, heart and soul is a holistic approach to raising a spiritual and authentic child.

And yes, they need a strong family affinity but one that does not suffocate and inhibit a sense of self.
