  • // Principled Discovery - "Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."--Alexis de Toqueville


    Interesting insights from a 7 year old


    First off, I just wanted to share this picture because it is so adorable...Baby Bug with our puppy, Holden:



    She is so proud to be able to pull herself up on that table and walk back forth along it!  Her little eyes shine and her face just beams with delight.

    Second, to end our week's discussion of the attributes of shapes, my daughter got to play with her pattern blocks.  Since I could not get the scanner to work, she just did some free play.  Tomorrow, she'll make some figures out of Pattern Animals:  Puzzles for Pattern Blocks.

    This is one of the things she made.  By itself, it may not seem that impressive.  She made one mistake, too.  But that is not why I took a picture of it.  It is what she said in describing what she did and why.  I wondered if the Holy Spirit coud speak directly through my seven year old daughter because I could not quite believe that she grasped exactly what she was saying.  She said this was her picture of the bible.



    The triangle represents the written word, the law we have to follow.
    The bottom is the peace that comes from reading God's Word and following His law.
    The top represents beauty.  When we are filled with His peace, we can see all the beauty of His purpose.

    I cannot really add to that, so I'll just leave that as my stunning moment for the week.

    My kiddos love playing with pattern blocks!

    How old is your baby bug? My little guy is almost 6 months already.
