Take a Look!

I was listing to NPR this morning when the “Perspectives” series came on.  It’s a series where local people share their perspective on any topic. Today a daycare teacher of 20 years shared her perspective on making kids say “I’m sorry.”  Her stance was that we shouldn’t make them say sorry if they’re not actually sorry.  Instead we should explain how their actions made the other person upset and have them say that they won’t do it again.  “I’m sorry” should really be used when the child is actually sorry.  Her example was if one child legitimately gets hurt by accident and you can tell that the offending child is actually sorry that that is a good time to tell someone “I’m sorry.”  Her point was that it makes it clear that you can’t just make things better by saying “I’m sorry.” That you need to consciously think about  your actions. It was a great perspective and it made me think.  I love NPR.  It looks like the audio won’t be available until tomorrow but I’ll link to it when it’s up.

I’m not feeling 100% and decided last night to get an extra hour of sleep, instead of working out.  Unfortunately, Lu had other plans and decided that 5:30 would be a FANTASTIC time to wake up this morning.  I think she was hungry.  No extra hour for me!  I did stop at Jamba for $1 Oatmeal Wednesdays and look at what they gave me:

Wha?  In contrast, here’s what I got last time I ordered the banana oatmeal:

Quite a bit different, eh?  I came into work and had to doctor it up a bit.  I added a spoonful of PB and some agave.

That’s a soy tea latte up there too :)  I got a tutorial (after I made that one) and so now my steamed “milk” will look much better.

I have a headband on today and Lu was fascinated with it so I put one on her.

How cute is that?  It didn’t stay that way for long though.  She went a little Star Trek on us.

Ah LaVar Burton, whatever happened to you?
