When your first born
you don't know what to do
you might scream or cry because it is all new
it's ok to be scared but don't worry your momma is here
As you get older you will learn to talk
maybe even learn to walk
Soon you will be a toddler
you'll be as cute as a button
but please don't start fussion
Now your a kid
your scaring me half to death
it's your first day of school little Beth
Oh I miss you already
soon you will be to old
you won't want old Papa's hugs
your gonna make me cry
Now your in 5th grade
your asking about a boyfriend
are you crazy
Oh little Beth
your on your way to prom
I have already threatened your date
sorry about that by the way
Now i'm walking you down the aisle at your wedding
Oh I miss when you were a baby
Are journey together is coming to a end
I will always love you little Beth

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
