Recently I went to a parenting class at church given by one of the best mom's I have ever seen. Her main parenting style was learned from a book called "Love and Logic," which I am currently reading and sharing with Daniel. Tonight, we had some friends over for dinner and then had an FHE lesson and I taught about the principle of teaching children responsibility from a young age by letting them make decisions (things that are age appropriate). The book says that this learning starts the day they are born. Dan enthusiastically responds with the comment,"so what kind of decisions do you offer them as an infant, do you want the left breast or the right breast?" Everyone laughed, needless to say I have a very witty husband who I know will make a great parent.
Another funny incident at this same dinner happened when we got into a discussion about raw food and the health benefits of eating that way. One of our friends commented that he has a relative that eats a purely raw food diet after having some health issues a couple years ago. He said that his relative has so much energy since he changed his diet that he is just bursting with enthusiasm and runs between activities during the day and then turned to Dan and said "he is kinda like you" to which Dan responds " Yeah, just think how I would be on the raw food diet." Anyone who knows Dan would see why this is so funny. As a side note, I am going to start cooking more vegan and raw food meals because I do think diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle contribute a lot to your quality of life and the amount of good you can accomplish in this world. It is not hard to understand that "live" foods are better then "dead" ones for a body which is living.
