Saturday Sayings: Fun Isn't Enough

Here's installment number two of a little something I'm calling Saturday Sayings.  It's my attempt at reflecting on some of my favorite professional quotes.  In other words, I'm not all that smart, so I like to keep track of what the gurus say. Hopefully some of you will enjoy hearing their thoughts as well.  This one came from a Regie Routman conference, straight from Regie's lips.  Sigh. 

I love hearing, "That was fun!"  If that's all my kids can say though, I missed the mark.  I've made a concerted effort in the past several years to make sure I do a better job of letting my kids repeatedly know why we're doing what we're doing throughout the day.


"Hey guys, now that you know the three sounds of cousin ed, you're going to be better readers and writers.  The next time you see him, you'll probably say to yourself, 'Yep, I know all about this.  No problem.'"  


As I'm typing this though, I'm already thinking of parts of my day where I haven't been as explicit as I should.  Thanks Regie for keeping me on the straight and narrow.  What a learning process this is!
