First Breathe

Sometimes kids say things so innocently and sweetly that it just kind of catches your breath. Maile loves to learn, she loves reading books about nature and animals and spouts off random information about whatever she’s learning all the time. Recently she had a friend over and their idea of a good time was to flip through books and write out ‘fact’ cards.

“Ooh look at this! Tiger cubs leave their mother when they are around 2 years of age. Whoaaa…I’m writing that on my fact card are you??”

The other night I was putting her to bed and she was all, “Did you know when a baby whale is born it’s mommy and daddy pushes it up to the top of the water so it can get it’s first little breathe?”

And I was all, “Really? No, I didn’t know that…but I believe it. Mommies and Daddies will do whatever they need to make sure their babies catch their breath.”

And then I was all, “You know what? I’d really love it if you drew me a picture of a baby whale being pushed to the top…you think you can make me one in the morning?”

And so she did:

Freaking adorable.

And of course, she’s right.

After joining Pinterest I noticed many people have a hard time deciphering between the ‘pinnable’ and non ‘pinnable’ content.

I created this pinterest guide to help you understand what is worthy of a pin and to ensure your experience with Pinterest (and mine) is both positive and meaningful.

I’m just glad I can help.
