Where does the time go?

Bad blogger, Shokufeh, bad blogger.

I'm not sure why almost a week has passed since my ever-so-scintillating last entry. I guess it's just that life has been getting in the way. A mix of good and bad.

Let's focus on the good:
This past weekend, I participated in a Ruhi Book 3 intensive study circle - on teaching Baha'i children's classes. We had a really good group.
Depicted a quote with this kickass Crayola modeling clay. Have you seen the stuff? How do kids keep it out of their mouths? I'm 30, and I wanted to stick it in mine. Thank goodness it's Crayola, so I don't have to worry about it killing me.

We also had two opportunities to practice teaching - one with an established Baha'i Sunday School, and one with a family at their home. Both days, I met little boys named Anis. (Which probably means that I should soon tell the story of the Anis in Baha'i history, especially for Anissa's sake.) Both days, I was captivated by the little people and just wanted to eat them up.

Hmmm, wanting to eat non-food items seems to be the theme of the weekend.

Shokufeh asks:
Q: How do kids keep it out of their mouths?

A: They don't.

Well, not my kid, at any rate. He's four and still puts anything and EVERYTHING in his mouth. Sometimes I see him palming objects, trying to sneak 'em past me, but I've got those supermom senses going on. To intercept I often have to send myself flying across the room. At least my reflexes are getting speedier. Sigh.

yeah, shok, i agree. there's no resisting modeling clay. on new year's eve, the door to delara's game closet was left slightly ajar by some ravenous monopoly players. i spotted some play doh on the shelf and ran to it like nobody's business. then i couldn't help but show off my little play doh snowman with the little play doh hat.
