If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

My blog already has a tagline which works equally well for me as a human.

Pondering something nearly everyday.

Today’s pondering involves a pair of small Crocs.

A few years ago a small pair of Turquoise crocs were kept by our kitchen door. A daily reminder of a small person, a grandchild, who had moved thousands of miles away at 18 months old.

These orange crocs belong to another grandchild who lives 10 miles away.  We only realised this week that we were stepping into unknown territory. A grandchild that we will interact with much more often, who is forming her own opinions.

The crocs are not just symbolic. We don’t let her into the yard without shoes on. Although I regularly pop out with bare feet. This did not impress her last week. So now we both have a pair of crocs by the back door and I am the one who needs to remember to put shoes on too.

To navigate this new small creature with her own mind I have a book that will, I hope, give me insight into 21st Century thinking.

I love that my own ideas on raising children are ‘ So last Century’

I am looking forward to reading and learning current thinking for the under fives, but I am very aware that a small person certainly thought I was being naughty or transgressive for going into the yard barefoot. I may need to get her her own book.
