I hope the new school is really, really good for everyone! Will Story automatically get a spot there when she's ready? I have been inspired by your approach to blessing your kids' teachers and started this year with a stronger attempt to do the same. Thanks for the ideas!

BUT today is the first day of your new journey! We have been more aware of so many things since the conference. Tonight something happened and I asked Aaron what he thought we should do, and he said " you tell me, you were at the conference!!!"

Ha! And now I'm obsessed with finding you :) We'll see. But seriously, you echoed my husband and my thoughts about yesterday. I felt like I had to pump myself up to come back today! I love it, it's just hard to see the many places we've failed our son in favor of our own pride or desire for control. But in spite of those feelings, I am so thankful to be here, and inspired to go home a better mama. Your words are a good reminder of the hope and grace of the future. Blessings!

I LOVE Dr. Purvis! I have her cell number, we can call her when you get back and get more ideas for our kids. :) but seriously, she did give me almost all of her DVD's and lots of book recommendations which have helped me remember things I have learned from her. You are always welcome to borrow. Obviously all of her stuff is good, but I am currently reading one of her recommendations called Beyond Logic, Consequences, and Control. And next I am going to read the Out of Sync Child. Girl! I LOVE Dr. Purvis!

I've been studying KP for the past year and a half, and did the intensive TBRI training with her last summer. I work now with the Stone building up the orphan care network. (And I get to teach Story in KidsJam on Sundays!) I'd love to talk this stuff with you if you ever want to. Olivia Engstrom can vouch for my sanity. :) Just shoot me a line: carly276@gmail.com Jamie, I’m at the conference too.

I needed to read this! I struggle with this same issue and find that sometimes I am honestly more of a child than my children are when I want control and so do they. I will keep you in my prayers and hope you will pray for me too! Oh Jamie, I so identify with this!! I needed to read this!
