Instead of posting my vinyl projects on this blog I had created another blog. It is www.wordsbymarygold.blogspot.com If you are interested on what I have been doing project wise, check it out there instead!
Today Beth set up a display at the school on Liberia for a diversity fair that was being held. Ryan went to Las Vegas for a crane convention, so the kids and I went to get out of the house. As we were leaving, the kids saw some Indians dressed up and I told them that after we ate we would come back to see them dance.
They were amazing! There was a beautiful mother dressed up with her 3 small children. The way that she looked at her little boy as he danced was really neat. To be able to have her children know their heritage and be part of it must be special. I wish that I knew more about my ancestry and could do the same for my children.
For the final dance the dancers picked a person out of the audience to dance with. I thought I was safe having Tanner in my lap....but I was not! I was lucky enough to be picked and danced with a ten yr old boy. Our good friend was picked to dance with the beautiful lady Indian! Ryan leaves and we go dancing!!
Just so we are clear....it wasn't a happy dance that he was gone. It was a rain dance.
When Preston was around 2 yrs old he would sneak out our front door and disappear. He would be with me one minute and gone the next. We quickly out smarted him and put a lock on the top of the door. That was the end of wandering until recently. He has four houses on our street that he frequents. I don't mind him playing with his friends....they are all good little boys. What I do mind is that when one friend cant play, he moves on to the next house. When its time for him to come home, I cant find him! How do you get into a little boys head that that is not an ok thing to do! It scares me when I cannot find him... Today I told him that if he doesn't tell me where he is, he will be grounded from his friends. That would be torture to my very social Preston!
