I enjoy those strange little surveys you can find on the internet. Came across this one via Natalie’s RR&R. Guess what I am……….

The “Love of Learning” Mother
intp

“I keep the encyclopedia in the kitchen so we can look up things together while we eat.”

• Intellectually curious and patient, the INTP mother relishes those times with a child when they are learning something interesting together. Whether they’re at the zoo or computer terminal, she sparks to answering his or her “whys” with in-depth responses or new knowledge.
• The INTP mother is also objective and introspective. She listens to and discusses children’s ideas and questions as she would those of a peer, fostering self-esteem and confidence. Open and non-directive, she allows children the freedom to do for themselves and quietly encourages them to believe they can do it.
• Independence, autonomy, intellectual development, and self-reliance are probably the INTP’s highest priorities for her children. An avid reader, she naturally imparts an appreciation and love of reading as well.
• Drawn to all types of learning, the INTP may also value her mothering experience for all the new insights about life it provides her.
  

and some side notes……..

My secret pal sent me a delightful pin (A neat little cup that’s just “Whimsy” - - Did you know that I love whimsical things! I do!) which if I ever get around to off loading the pictures on my camera I will post so all can see!

I will also upload some great pictures of the boys. Of course I will first have to wade through the hundred or so outtakes. Maybe I should make a movie of just outtakes? It could be funny…..

We are trying to get our garden back from the weeds. I’ll let you know the progress after this weekend. Oh and Dh sprayed the mint the beautiful, gorgeous foot tall mint with roundup in a case of mistaken identity (he though it was a nettle). I am sad. Jr. is mad and states quite clearly “Next time you spray, you haf to take me, mommy & lil’B wiff so you don’t spray duh wong stuff!” And he says Daddy has to buy us a NEW mint! So there.
