I am not really one who gets sad as my kids get ol I am not really one who gets sad as my kids get older. In fact, I really enjoy seeing them move from stage to stage and look forward to experiencing the next step with them. But I would be remiss if I didn’t say that getting Porter registered for kindergarten and realizing we are officially out of the baby stage has me a little sad. Big changes ahead with all three in full time school, Peyton moving to middle school and one more year of elementary for Pax.  Whew. I am looking forward to our summer together more than ever.

Where are you in your parenting stages?  Do you get happy, sad or a little of both with big changes??

AD | One of the best things about being a mother i AD | One of the best things about being a mother is sharing simple, everyday experiences with my kids.  Growing up my grandmother always said that Monday was for red beans and rice because it was wash day. Our family has carried on this tradition that Monday’s are for red beans and rice and family. Each Monday we make it a point to sit down and have a family meal together. One of the many reasons I love my @mignonfagetltd Red Bean and Rice necklace and Red Bean dangle earrings is it reminds me of these special dinners, my family and my love of being from the greater New Orleans area.

Tell Me About It

I am going to start this post with a little disclaimer.  I am not a parenting expert.  Nor do I believe in parenting experts.  I believe that certain things worked for certain kids and that as parents it is beneficial that we share what has worked for us.  That being said I don’t think that there is a one size fits all way to parent and what worked for me may not work for you.

Peyton, 5, and Paxton, 4, have become quite the artists this year.  I am not sure if it has been their age or something that they are just doing more at school but daily they are asking me for paper and markers and scissors so they can create.

Admittedly I am not a project mom so this meant that I had to go out and secure these supplies.  They were quick to make me a list and help me navigate what they would need to make their creations.

Each day they started bringing me things that they had drawn or colored or cutout.  I would ooh and ah over them even when I was unsure what they had made me.  Sometimes I would even make a suggestion as to what the drawing was but lately I have started asking more questions rather than offering suggestions.

I have been saying “tell me about it” when they bring me a creation and these are a few of the unexpected results of working my question this way….

Develops Understanding on their Processing

The first thing I noticed was how much more information I got about a situation they experienced at school or with their brothers.  Happy, sad or funny they started telling me more and more about how their drawing was about something they were feeling.  Now don’t get me wrong I am still getting my fill of silly answers and craziness but they really have started opening up more and more to me.

Develops Conversation

At first when I would ask them to tell me about it I think they were a little confused on where to start.  Over time they have started having an answer ready for me and I have been able to ask them more questions about color choices or shapes and so on.  This has helped us develop a conversation rather than just a question and answer session.  I have seen this now help with their conversation style with other adults and their peers.

Develops Creativity

Now that they see I am excited about what they are doing and also interested in their perspective they are feeling bolder to create more things and work on their skills.  Peyton has become an expert at cutting out masks that he is outlining and creating on his own.  He is also finding things on tv and online that he can try to draw himself.  Paxton is also getting excited about cutting and writing.  Now he is trying to journal stories based off of his drawings and this will be an important skill for Kindergarten next year.

Develops Language Skills

Not only has their conversation skills improved but their language and sentence development too.  I have noticed in the past that sometimes they have a hard time coming up with the right word.  Since we are chatting more about their art they are finding the right words more quickly to explain to me what they are done.

Deepens Our Relationship

Peyton came to me the other day and brought me a shoe box.  He said that he wanted me to have a place to keep all of the things that he makes for me.  He is seeing that I am interested in what he is making and knows I hate clutter so he is providing me a place to keep his art work.  I love that he can make art and write me notes and then I can look through all of them at the end of each day.

The chaos of raising three kids is daunting some days.  I know that there is so much I don’t get right but I am always doing my best and trying to do better about my shortcomings.  It makes me happy to see my kids grow and thrive.  It makes me excited for these coming years to see what other bends they have with their personalities and how their tastes and talents will develop.
