I have come to the last week of blogging for this class. I am a person who never reads! I do actually like to read magazines during the day while my daycare kids are playing. I don't know why I never read books during those times. I guess I figured that I needed to concentrate more on the books then I do the magazines and with kids running around you have to be able to stop reading any split second instead of waiting till you get to the end of a chapter or page.
I really thought that I would hate this part of the class but I actually didn't mind it. It got me to read a book that I have had sitting around here for a couple years now that I actually had borrowed from my sister. While I am still taking college classes I don't know that I am going to do any reading for myself. I feel like that I have tons of text books for school to read and other school work to do. Now if I have a light work load and feel like that I can do some personal reading then I will. I defiantly be doing some reading this summer for sure and when I am done with school. I already have my next book picked out so if I have some down time then I will be ready to read.
I have always wished that I could have a passion for reading but I never really get into it. I think that I will be more apt to picking up a book now and reading it then I ever would have been before.

Parenting With Love And Logic By Foster Cline, M.D. & Jim Fay
I am so excited because I was able to finish this book this week. I only had a few Pearls left to finish and they were: Pearl 37 Television Watching, Pearl 38 Temper Tantrums, Pearl 39 Toilet Training, Pearl 40 Values: Passing Them On To Your Kids, and Pearl 41 Whining And Complaining. Out of these last few Pearls I really enjoyed reading about Pearl 38 Temper Tantrums and Pearl 41 Whining And Complaining. I have a 3 year old who like to do both and my 5 year old like to whine and complain. They say with the whining and complaining to tell the child in a nice soft calm voice that I won't talk with them until their voice sounds like mine. If we find ourselves drawn into a discussion, then we need to ignore the whining altogether. Until the whining stops we need to ignore the child.
This happened to me the other day with my 3 yr old. She wanted a new plate because the one she had then had ranch on it. I told her I wasn't going to waste another plate and the one she had was fine. She kept whining that she wanted a new plate and I sternly told her no and so she went and sat on the couch and threw a temper tantrum. I just ignored her the entire time and kept feeding my daycare kids their lunch. Finally after 20 minutes and when all of us were done eating our lunch she came back into the kitchen and ate her entire lunch on that same plate. Ignoring really works!
Disney Family Fun Magazine Special Holiday Issue December/January 2012
This magazine is a new one that I have never heard of before. I just started to subscribe to it. There is some really neat holiday crafts in it. They show you cheap ways to decorate your house for the holidays with things that you may already have around the house. One really neat decorations was to take Gatorade bottles, squeezable jelly bottles, or plastic nut jars (really any plastic bottle that you make have) and to cut the bottom out so you can set it over a battery-operated tea light. You mix water and glue until it becomes a creamy consistency then you brush it over the jar. You then attach white tissue paper scraps and then brush another layer of the glue on. You cover the lid the same way but with black tissue paper because that will be the snowman's hat. You glue on small black beads, sequins, or buttons or the eyes and mouth. Then for the nose you take a tiny piece of orange tissue paper, roll it in a cone shape and brush glue over it so it will stay in a cone shape. Once its dry you will attach it to the snowman.They also had a really neat idea about making rice crispy treats into a ball and make it into an ornament.
This magazine might become one of my favorites. I am always looking for neat crafts to do with my daycare kids.
