Our Trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Natural History

February 15, 2011 | 2 Comments

dinosaurs on display at the Museum of Natural historyMy oldest son, Harrison, turns 5 next week.  It’s really hard to believe that it’s been almost 5 years since our little Harry was brought into our lives.  What a crazy time that was and how quickly these past 5 years have gone.

Harrison is in full on dinosaur mode right now.  He is obsessed with them.  It’s all he talks about, all he wants to read about and all he plays with right now.  He has been begging us to take him to the museum ever since he found out that there was a place he could go to see dinosaur skeletons.  Philladelphia is only an hour and a half away from our house but with our tight budget, it wasn’t the easiest thing to plan but I was determined to take him for his birthday.

This Sunday, we packed the family up and went to Philly.  We didn’t tell the boys what we were doing or where we were going.  When we got their, it was all we could do to hold Harrison back while we got the tickets.  It was a great day and a memory I will cherish forever.

We saw and did a lot this past Sunday but I managed to capture a small piece of it with my digital camera.  Check it out below if you are interested!

Basic Principles Of Good Parenting

Here some basic principles for good parenting:

  1. What You Do Matters: Your kids are watching you. So, be purposeful about what you want to accomplish.
  2. You Can’t be Too Loving: Don’t replace love with material possessions, lowered expectations or leniency.
  3. Be Involved Your Kids Life: Arrange your priorities to focus on what your kid’s needs. Be there mentally and physically.
  4. Adapt Your Parenting: Children grow quickly, so keep pace with your child’s development.
  5. Establish and Set Rules: The rules you set for children will establish the rules they set for themselves later.  Avoid harsh discipline and be consistent.
  6. Explain Your Decisions: What is obvious to you may not be evident to your child. They don’t have the experience you do.
  7. Be Respectful To Your Child: How you treat your child is how they will treat others.  Be polite, respectful and make an effort to pay attention.
