Big Sis' Celebration of Life
Minicoop's school has a tradition called the Celebration of Life. It is common in Montessori schools. It is a special way for parents, teachers, and classmates to show appreciation for the birth and growth of a child. Parents are requested to list highlights about the child's life and share pictures during each year of her life. This is the first time we are participating since she has only be at her new school for 5 months.
Here is her precious four years of highlights summarized on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper. This was tricky to me to keep it short but it was a great exercise. Thanks to all of my photojournalism and blogging, I think I have the facts properly organized!

First Words and Expressions
Little Brother cracks us up. He is really understanding how to express his himself. His first words have been bananas, bubbles, ball, balloon, Dadda..moe (for more)!
He loves to copy Big Sis when she is speaking. The kiddos were in the garage. Big Sis heard kids playing in the back alley. She yelled "Hello!?"..Little Brother following along echoed in his Scooby Doo voice "UrerroOO!?".
When he gets upset he surprisingly knows how to give us an eye roll, glare, and wrinkle his eyebrows at us!

Little brother is 18 months now. He recently joined his Big Sis at the same Montessori school. He is learning how to sit in a big boy chair, throw his own paper towels away, push in his own chair, balance and carry his own work station, and wash his own hands.
He loves the class fish and garden.
In the past month we noticed he is taking a liking to dancing. If he is in a high chair he will nod his head or sway side to side to music. If he is in his car seat, he will nod his head or kick his legs. If he is standing he will sway, twist his body, or bounce up and down!
He is very stable with his walking now. It has allowed him to follow his sister and her friends EVERY WHERE! Like it our not!
He loves to copy her sounds, words, and personality!

Valuing your child(ren)
If a child is given love, he becomes loving...If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others."
~ Dr. Joyce Brothers, 1974
This quote I think is so profound. It seems like common sense, yet so many children grow up feeling unloved. So many children never feel like they are valued
