Have you ever noticed that most of your major life lessons are actually just bigger versions of simple things you learned as a child? Simple life lessons that a 3 year old understands and holds as a rule like "Be nice"or "Say you're sorry," seem to be so easily forgotten as an adult. These life lessons seem to come naturally to them. I'm sure this is one of the reasons that Christ encourages us to become like the little children. Despite the fact that we are supposed to be here to guide them through life it seems like they're the ones that are teaching us. I know I've learned these lessons before, but it seems like I'm constantly needing to re-learn them.
Maybe this is going to be my therapy session...a mom's time out so to speak...but I've noticed that my young children seem to know more about life and the rules of life than I do, so this blog will be dedicated to the things that I've learned and continue to learn from my children. And while I can't guarantee that everything I've learned will be profound and life altering (some lessons are just plain funny), they are, nonetheless, things I have learned. So if you can put up with the ramblings of a full time mom, please read on, and feel free to leave me comments and let me know if I'm just a wierd mom or if you've noticed the same things from your children.
As a side note...one of my best teachers is my 3 year old (although I'm sure that each of my children has valuable lessons to teach me)...thus the name of this blog.

What a great idea Cassie! You have immediately made me aware of the fact that my 3 year-old keeps me honest. It's true that if we slow down and listen to what these little spirits say and do that we can learn from them. That's one reason I miss Primary.
