Sounds like you are handling it well. I'm five years removed from the incident and I have to tell you I can't remember how we handled it at the time. Senility is bliss! *hehe* You're right, though, you'll all be laughing about it someday. You're a good mom.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867112701783092241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-702753084987628702007-12-21T06:14:00.000-06:002007-12-21T06:14:00.000-06:00Bless your heart - but you're on the right track, ...Bless your heart - but you're on the right track, and you're helping Chelsey be on it, too.<BR/>I adore chickadees and enjoy them all year at the feeders and on the porch railing. Can't wait to see your completed chickadee postcard. And...love the others, too. Postcards were on my list, but they haven't happened yet.<BR/>Have a great weekend!<BR/>SusanJourneyinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632561478458922369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-37347161310466415042007-12-21T02:20:00.000-06:002007-12-21T02:20:00.000-06:00One of my most-uttered sayings fits here - No-body...One of my most-uttered sayings fits here - No-body tells you about this at ante-natal classes. It's so difficult to be cruel to be kind but you're no doubt doing her the biggest service you can over this - mind you that doesn't make it any easier for either of you (((hugs)))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-39602100033703212932007-12-21T00:38:00.000-06:002007-12-21T00:38:00.000-06:00Yah, I feel for you!

And they will be sorry, and will remember and will learn from it. And will we all survive.

I can remember as a child in Canada that there was one place in an arboretum close to where we lived that had chickadees that would eat from your hand..we even have a picture of one sitting eating off my sister's hat!Sew Create It - Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042708937494415876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-86789221560741329892007-12-20T10:56:00.000-06:002007-12-20T10:56:00.000-06:00Perfect children?
