In a few hours time I will be off on a marriage renewal weekend with R. We have been talking a lot lately about our relationships, kids and what we wish for our future. This weekend will be a catalyst for getting to know each other deeper and to iron out any differences that we have been having lately.

Marriage does has it’s fare share of ups and down and it hasn’t been an all smooth sailing 8 years for us.

I will be spending this weekend learning how to reconnect with R. I hope that our marriage will age like a bottle of vintage wine.

Let me leave you this week with a round up of what I have been reading.

WW- Learning from Bob The Builder

Dominique Parenting Views Bob the Builder, Television, Theme Songs

Bob the Builder is one of the cartoons that the boys enjoy watching on TV. For those of you who have toddlers in your household I am sure that Bob and his friends maybe a common sight in your house.

I love the theme song and its positive affirmation – ” Can we do it- YES we can!!” It talks about being determine and seeing through what you have planned to do.

Very often our (and even us adults )give up even before trying as the task seems oh too difficult to be attempted. However with the right mentality and attitude any obstacle can be overcome.

Sometimes when the boys face difficulties I will remind them that Bob the builder was able to do it and so they should be able to do the same. It does work as a motivator for them as they would then make another attempt at the task at hand.

Are there any other cartoons/show which your teach positive affirmation to kids?
