I love my Giselle Baby :)

It's baby's 1st new year!

What joy and what pleasure!

Your life is expanding

To make room for this treasure.

A darling newcomer

To have and to hold

Whose smiles are more precious

Than silver or gold.

He'll demolish your schedule

Though he's helpless and small

He'll make his needs known,

And he'll rule over all.

A parent’s work

Is just never quite done,

But you’ll never mind,

‘Cause it’s all so much fun.

When you hear his cute giggle

You’ll start "aahing" and "oohing,"

And he'll reply back

By "ga ga" and "goo gooing."

Those big innocent eyes

See a world strange and new

To make sense of it all

He'll look only to you.

So cherish this time

Of miraculous things

The excitement and wonder

That a baby brings.

Ten Commandments for Getting Along With People

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

1. Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.

2. Smile at people. It takes seventy-two muscles to frown and only fourteen to smile.

3. Call people by name. The sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his or her name.

4. Be friendly and helpful. If you would have friends, be friendly.

5. Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure [make sure that it is].

6. Be genuinely interested in people. You can find something interesting about every person.

7. Be generous with praise … and cautious with criticism.

8. Be considerate of the feelings of others. It will be appreciated.

9. Be thoughtful of the opinion of others. There are three sides to a conversation/argument: yours, the other person's, and the right one!

10. Be alert to give service. What you do for others is important.
