Jason – love. love. LOVE! the Monday Mindfulness… I laughed out loud at all of the examples that your sheep presented. And I really, really appreciate the reminder to connect with my daughter’s needs in the busy moments.
Thank you so much for doing what you do!
@Nona – Anything that has us parents laughing out loud is on mark. Thanks for the comment and looking forward to what’s next.
Jason,
I enjoyed this skit. I have used the timer trick for awhile now. It takes a lot of pressure off the parent. It is the timer saying it is time to go, not the parent.

Thank you for letting us connect and know we are not alone!
The last few days, my longing for puppet theatre, creating puppet theatre to show humorously, heartfeltly how humans get blocked…was surfacing again..and now here is your puppet theatre..and it works so well! holds the intention…sweetness comes through. Just great, Jason…wonderful you found me on Pinkies…
I have a feeling I will be entering young family life ..when, where or how…don’t know…so I subscribed to your blog. Your writing makes it so real..thanks!
@Annie,
Here’s to the future filled with love, family, and puppet theater.
