Mommy, I cant...

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
"Mommy I CANT, Mommy I cant!"   These were the words out of my 3 year olds mouth today.  She wanted me to help dress her doll.  I told her to try it herself since she is a big girl. Then she said something that got me thinking.  She said, "no mommy, I cant do it because you can do it."  Is she not wanting to try things on her own because she knows I can?  Is she being lazy?  I know it is a typical toddler remark, but I want her to be more independent and not ever think she cant do things.  Her daddy is a great example of a can do attitude.  My hubby knows he can do anything with the right preparation.  I want her to get that down!  TRY TRY AGAIN my sweet lil girl!  You can do it!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...
