You could never protect your child from all suffering or harm. To attempt to do so could only hinder his growth into a strong, capable and fully functioning man who is not afraid to express his passion and will in the world.
His growth depends upon being confronted with challenges and seeing repeatedly that he can overcome them under his own power. His understanding of his innate ability to overcome is crucial to his confience and posturing in the world.
So we’ve run off to Coronado for the fourth of July weekend. This should be fun!
We’re in a cute little studio walking distance from the beach. We’ve even got a dishwasher and a full-sized fridge.
We brought a whole meal plan for the weekend. Tonight Becky made for us Caprese salad, steamed veggies and stuffed bell peppers. Yummmmm!

– Post From My iPhone

Got an iPhone 3G or original iPhone that you’d like to sell to pay for your upgrade to the iPhone 3G S? Guess what, YOU CAN!
I ran some quotes just now at Gazelle and found that you can sell your iPhone 3G for as much as $192 (the 16GB iPhone 3G S is only $199 for valid upgrades).
Gazelle will even give you as much as $110 for the original iPhone, which would more than pay for the iPhone 3G since the price has dropped to $99 with the release of the new iPhone 3G S.
This means that right now, as an AT&T customer, you could sell your current iPhone and upgrade to the 3G or 3G S for little or no cost! You may even make a buck in the process!

James had a very busy and experience filled day.
James started his Saturday with a CranioSacral session from one of our previous instructors from IPSB. Dorothy said that his core strength is amazing and was surprised to see James grab his ‘binky’ and put it in his own mouth.
Then Jamesie and Mama Becky stopped by Jamba Juice and met Papa at Balboa Park for a nice lazy hour on the grass.
Back at home Becky and Joshua received some really profound and useful teachings about the differences between men and women. Our friend teaches this material and we LOVED it. The training we received was simple and one would think that it would be obvious to us all (because it is so very fundamental), and yet it was tremendously helpful for us to gain greater understanding of one another as husband and wife.
Later, while Mama Becky made a fantastically delicious dinner of yummy burgers and fries, James and Dada explored the outdoors. At least outside our door that is. It was about sunset and so when facing east our block is ablaze in golden sunshine at this time of day.
James enjoyed the vibrant flowers and leaves in the golden rays. He reached out and grabbed hold of flower and leaves and pull them ever closer to his mouth. “These look delicious!” he was undoubtedly thinking. We laugh and played and explored our front yard. Then Mama and Papa ate dinner outside with Baby James.
This evening James took a bottle and for the first time yet, at four and a half months, he held it entirely on his own! His hand eye coordination is great. We challenge him lovingly to grow strong and be happy.
As I write this, James is sleeping in his crib on his own. For several days now James has been having an easier and easier time going down to sleep and staying asleep a reasonable length of time. “GO JAMES!”
It’s great to be a dad!
This video has some great inspirational quotes set to music. Enjoy & have a great day!
“If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

I promise they’re better than the tired old tree in the forest bit.
These are some of my favorites from recent weeks.
…takes your bullshit glasses right off.
I can no longer settle for what I have in the past.
My present choices now effect much more than ever.
I am inescapably accountable. And thankfully very grateful for that fact.
