Gabe read his first complete sentence today! "Help Spiderman find the bomb." What a big boy! He sounded all the words out himself. I tried to explain to him how "the" is going to be one of the words he reads and uses the most and how it's tricky to sound out. AND, not to toot my own mommy horn, but I am so proud of him. When I picked him up from Sunday school today Teacher Mary said, "I love all my kids, but if I could have a classroom full of Gabriel's I would be so happy!" That just makes my heart swell. To know that all the effort Chuck and I put into teaching him to be respectful and compassionate is paying off.
I ran a couple miles today. First time I've done that in a looooong time. It was such a beautiful sunny day here in the Pacific NW (Moon family, please come back). Chuck took the kids for a walk and I kind of ran around the neighborhood and met them at the park. Saw some neighbors we haven't seen since the sun was out last time. That's about how it works here in Oregon.
So I'm struggling with how to approach my striptease dance class. Your input would be much appreciated. It seems that Father Bill (Chucks priest) received my mass email. Chuck thought it was kind of funny at first- until he had a chance to think about it. Now he says that I should take out the word "striptease" and rephrase it so that it would be something I wouldn't be ashamed of my pastor or his priest reading. (My pastor, Steve, received it, too. But somehow I think it would be better received by him). He didn't say anything at church to me today. But that may be because I picked up Gabe and we scurried out the back door. Am I ashamed? Hmm... Maybe. I feel like it's okay to teach women how to be sexy and to feel better about themselves and to entice their men. But if I'm worried about certain people knowing about it, then what?
