Parenting Class, Its Perks And Rain!

We had a great lesson at our parenting class today. "Building your child(ren) self-esteem." This is something that we definitely want to get the most of out of the lesson today because we do want to make sure D Jr and Alyssa have the best self esteem they can have.

There were things that we realized that we needed to start doing more of and it was great to finally understand that it's okay for children to have moments of low self - esteem. These moments make the child (or hopefully with positive re-enforcement from us) try harder and better at tasks on hand. This I believe came in perfect timing because of the new school year that I'm sure will have its up and downs.

It's also been raining off and on still today. Quite a bit of flooding in the dry brooks and riverbeds that are near the neighborhood. I took a few pics. These are usually dry with no sign of water and look how filled they are with the rains.
