Where the Wild Things Are
Etta seems to like books that have a character in them that is naughty. Or a situation where things go bad. Or something is "scary".
Addie does not like some of these books for those very same reasons. She does not want scary or things going wrong or people being naughty or making messes.
Now I know that comparing children is really not beneficial and labeling them as a certain kind of child can do more harm than good. So I am refraining from delving into their differences. I am just pointing out their current likes or dislikes.
Speaking of parenting children, I am currently attending a 7 week series called "Sanity circus" (hokey name but good material). I am not sure how much I will blog about it because there is so much information and it would be so hard to condense while still being clear as to why certain parenting tools are encouraged or discouraged. But it is certainly making me think about how I was raised, where my pitfalls as a parent are. It is motivating me to read more parenting books and to try to start making some small changes to my parenting and go from there.
