Casual Friday + Moments of the Week (Throwback Edition)
So I’m getting a little nostalgic today…these photos were taken almost exactly 2 years ago. I can’t believe how much has changed…
First off, if you have followed my blog for a while you may recognize “the wall” where I used to take my photos. This wall was located just a couple blocks from our high-rise in downtown Denver.
Second, you may notice that I’m caring a little bit of extra weight. Cooper was 2 1/2 months from entering this world here.
And golly you guys…I get nostalgic looking at these old posts. Do you ever feel like you have lived SEVERAL different lives throughout your one life? These photos represent a wonderful time in my life…when my husband and I were so happy as we awaited the birth of our son we lived in a city with wonderful friends I woke up each morning to go to a job I truly loved. I’m just so grateful for that time in my life!
And speaking of a job I loved, here is a “MOMENT OF THE WEEK” from this post that TOTALLY captures what I just treasured about that job:
“I Should Have Known Better Moment”
As a school psychologist, I perform many forms of counseling with kiddos. Last Tuesday I was working with a 4th grade boy on the skill of identifying problems that he had control over in his life. In this exercise, we compare “play-doh problems” with “rock problems.” To illustrate how play-doh problems can be controlled and altered, I give the student a handful of play-doh: Me: “Allright Billy…go ahead and make whatever shape you want. I’ll then guess what you made!” He quickly molds the orange clay into a shape and holds it out for me to see. Me: “Um, okay…it’s a carrot!” Billy: smiling “Nope. Guess again.” Me: “Is it a fat snake?” Billy: trying not to laugh “Nope!” And then it hits me. I gave a 4th grade boy a bunch of orange playdoh and he totally just made a wee-wee.
