What to Enjoy

Proverbs 22:6Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Jordan loves people. Anyone who's come over to our place knows that. I'm thankful for her love of people. When she hears the phone ring, and we walk to the door, she gets really excited. The other day, she was quite sad that I didn't invite the UPS man in for a chat. When people leave, she tries to follow them out the door. She doesn't have to know you for very long - in fact, if you say hi to her on the street she'll go nuts! What I personally get most amused by is her reaction to the photos on our fridge. It's as if her friends are right there with us in our kitchen. She's like this by the grace of God.

But I'm glad she enjoys being with people and I'm hoping to immerse her in things that will be healthy for her to enjoy. As of now, she's way to young to watch TV although I'll admit that I recently allowed her to while I cut her fingernails. It keeps her still for the 2 minutes I need.

Instead of tv, we choose books (much to Kow Fu Jonathan's dismay). Here's my plug for Sandra Boynton books by the way. If you're a parent of a baby and he/she does not have a Sandra Boynton book... get one!!! Her books are hysterical and the your infant will love the illustrations. Not only that, they're amusing for the parents who read them. It's humorous on a couple of levels so while you're reading that book for the millionth time, it'll make you crack a smile. (If you check out the link under my favorite things, you'll see!)

Her uncle Joe also bought her a book filled with colorful pages of Bible stories. That's something we read to her often. They're never too young for the Word.

People... Books.. Jesus.. great stuff for the little ones to start enjoying. I don't want her to miss out.
