This week’s mission: Let’s learn a little something from our kids
Week #2 here at MISSion Amy K.R.! So let’s go with a 2-ish theme, shall we?
I now present to you…”22 Things My Children Have Taught Me.” (And you know how many ducks there are in the kiddie pool, don’t you…)
That wonderful voice you hear: that’s Brooklyn-based musician Elizabeth Mitchell.
Click through to find out this week’s mission:
MISSION: Take a couple minutes to reflect on what the children in your life have taught you. (Maybe they’re your children, maybe they’re your nieces/nephews/grandchildren/godchildren/your students, etc.)
SHARE: Email us your 2 favorite reflections/learnings at missionamykr@vocalo.org.
Off we go…
miss amy k.r.

P.S.S. ATM! Always trust magic.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: Things we’ve learned from our kids

You did it again!!! This weeks entry is fantastic you do not need to worry about not being able to match your first one.
I don’t have kids but plan to have one (maybe two depending on how the first one goes!) sooner rather than later. This list reminded me why I want them. Thank you for sharing and thank your kids for their wisdom. I also need to thank my friend’s daughter who said earlier today, “I love bagels. They’re so saucy.” We all need kids in our lives, whether they are ours or just related to someone we love.
Thank you so much, Ann!
And gosh, Sarah, I never thought of bagels as saucy before. See, this is exactly the kind of enlightenment I think we are all looking for! :) Here’s to a great week, everyone…
1) On road trips McDonald’s is a friend even if most of the time you are an organic whole foods fanatic. In the middle of no where McDonald’s is there and all kids eat french fries.
2) You need a bigger purse.
I loved this so much, I linked to it and made one of my own! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.
1. In autumn, the leaves don’t fall off the trees; they jump off and say, “Wheeee!”
2. Always carry crayons.
1. Blankies and stuffed animals are alive and have feelings too.
2. You reap what you sow
LOL @ RevSCS!
Great post…started my day with a smile! I sent my reflections via email, but I’ll share here too:
My children have taught me:
1. Love is bigger than your heart could ever think.
2. Time trumps presents hands down!
My students have taught me:
1. Superheroes are real.
2. Boredom is the door to magic.
Whenever we visit one particular friend’s house my 2 yr. old daughter, Isabel, heads straight for the fridge for a slice of cheese. And usually eats 2-3 slices in one sitting. She doesn’t do it anywhere else. So now we bring a pack of cheese when we come over.
