Amberley:
We wanted to get the kids involved in our purge. Why?
- It’s important for the kids to learn that stuff is just stuff, and we have too much of it.
- If we really want to teach the kids about Creation care, I believe that step one is helping them understand that we have to consume less. Recycling is good, but not buying to begin with is better.
- I was really curious what she would pick … considering this is her life …
Michael:
Today this child handed me a stack of used Tim’s cards… used. Not ours, and not full. Used Tim’s cards. She could possibly be a hoarder in the making. Everything is a treasure and held tightly in one of her random purses. I was surprised at her picks and at the same time not at all. She holds grudges and hoards.
Item 1 – A barbie table, Barbie doesn’t like it. Enough said.
Item 2 – A barbie pony… so this one is a trouble maker and has been part of many of Ida’s narratives. She causes tension with the other identical Barbie pony. So this has probably been a long time coming. Plus the other one is easier to ride… her words not mine.
Item 3 – a mini mouse car. no mini mouse… just the car.
Item 4 – I have no idea who this is or where it came from.
Item 5 – Again I have no idea what this is. It looks like a tiny pulpit?
