One Thumb Up One Foot Down: Goliath's Sandals

Goliath's Sandals

Today before we began reading:

Jack: Mom, how can Goliath have sandals on?

Erin: What do you mean?

Jack: I thought sandals only came in kid sizes and adult sizes.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, has to do with sizes, measurements, times, etc. right now. And for a mother who likes 'rounding' Jack's exactness can be exasperating. I have to often remind myself that his inquisitive mind is a good thing...I think!

One Thumb Up One Foot Down!

About the name

During these early years of parenting, I feel that I am constantly giving my sons and daughter encouragement to try something new and then immediately turning around and telling them to stop doing something else. This 'One Thumb Up, One Foot Down' approach of life isn't that far from how my own life feels at times - movements forward and backwards, highs and lows - and this blog is my attempt to share some of these moments with you. I invite you to join me on the ride as often as you can...

This blog is designed to be our family scrapbook. We don't want to bore you and make you flip through a book every time you visit us, but we do invite you to visit here any time you like.
