I never know what I'm going to find when I look back at this sweet girl!

One of the more common questions we get on this trip is "How do you keep your two year old entertained?"
.

That's a great question! Short answer: we don't.

We are certainly still figuring this whole parenting thing out, but so far we don't think it's our responsibility to make sure Ellie Roo is entertained. That's where her imagination, creativity, and curiosity kick in.

Yes, I answer 573,489 questions every day. But, mostly I hear her rather impressively pretending, singing, exploring, questioning, identifying, and of course snoring!

Parents, you are a facilitator. This means educating, listening, watching, sitting back and allowing events to unfold, equipping, exposing, withholding, and perhaps at times entertaining. Find the teachable moments. Be intentional with every opportunity to mold your little one into a human that is an essential member of the community they find themselves to be a part of.
