A Great Idea

So my daughter has been having a hard time with her dad having primary custody so I came up with a idea... Since she cant read or write yet I went and bought her crayons and drawing paper for her to keep at her dads. I told her when ever she feels sad, mad, happy, or just misses me she should draw me a picture of how she is feeling that minuet and when I get her on my weekend bring the pictures with her and we talk about how she was feeling in each picture. She has been doing it and it has been going great and really helps her. If you have little ones I would recommend this idea it has been helping a lot.

    I just realized you are a non-custodial parent. I hope that your ex is willing to work with you on that wedding that your DD has been asked to be in. I know that I feel I have to be *more* flexible than ex because I have 90% of the time with our son. I hope your ex feel the same.

    You know, that is a fantastic idea. I have been having some trouble with my kids lately. But I feel like it is mostly a problem with me and the way I am handling things due to outside stress and overwhelming feelings, not anything actually to do with the kids. Maybe I could try this with SD6 to help me see myself through her eyes. DS3 is a little too young, though.
