My mother made my dress for me from her wedding dress, which makes a bigger impact on me now than it did when I was 8!! But I also remember the importance my parents gave it, you're right to enforce that with your son - it really will stick with him.Joanen at Frutto della Passionehttp://fruttodellapassione.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548303831326687721.post-11271412604043770922008-04-09T21:46:00.000-04:002008-04-09T21:46:00.000-04:00Terrific idea, Angie. Actions do speak louder than words. We have been trying to impart this bit of knowledge to my 8 year old grandson often of late...lol.Sandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01727506305170439878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548303831326687721.post-8013550253843143502008-04-09T21:03:00.000-04:002008-04-09T21:03:00.000-04:00How sweet!

How special! And you are so right, that parents do set the example and show children what matters most. The First Communion for the kids at our parish isn't until sometime in May. I have been thinking about next year....my son will be in R.E. (CCD, whatever you call it) for 2nd grade, on track to do First Communion, just like the other kids, but he won't be able to actually participate in the sacrament, because of the situation in our family (me Catholic, husband not). Whereas you were afraid Noah might not be willing to take Communion, I am worried about how my son will deal when he learns that he won't be allowed to.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for rambling! Anyway, I do enjoy your blog!Kimberly at Echowoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10087951070465942772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548303831326687721.post-25962220247909910802008-04-09T17:12:00.000-04:002008-04-09T17:12:00.000-04:00Thanks for the reminder!<BR/>LindsLindshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13708982835293734952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548303831326687721.post-60855005097622410132008-04-09T07:39:00.000-04:002008-04-09T07:39:00.000-04:00this is so true. we always have to put our money where our mouths are, so to speak. i really believe that these kind of actions teach so much more than lectures. good for you. and congrats!Phyllis Sommerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16654761832717723000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548303831326687721.post-77913753066749009242008-04-09T01:28:00.000-04:002008-04-09T01:28:00.000-04:00Good idea.
