I am who I am.

Just finished my layout for Finding You the second week.
Can't tell you anything about the assignment.
Just want to share with you that it was hard work and that this layout is filled with symbolism and that I made it on intuition.
The Dutch words "Ik ben die ben" on the wooden egg in the picture says: I am who I am. These are words from the Bible. I got the egg as a gift about 10 years ago after I had spend 3 months in a religious community to try and come to peace with a traumatic event in my life that happened a few months earlier. This was my message from them to me and told me to do something with it. But you know what: it is still actual! (big sigh, hihihi)
Supplies: pp (BG, SR), felt butterfly (Blokker) altered myself, red foamletters (self made), holder + brads (OTC), red clip (Wibra), ribbon (market), embroidering thread, sewing thread, black pen for DVD.

Brain Gym- I started by alkin to my boys about the Brain. The Left and Right sides, the fact thatthebrain is 80% water.... My boys, like me, are into science so it works to go about things the scientic route. Then we talked about diferent activities and which side of the brain was used most and what if we did those things and both sides of our brain were working together. I read to them some of the activities. They take turn with ideas of variations on the activities and they take turns leading different activities.

PLUS- I statred with ME doing the activities and them asking me what I'm doing and why and joing in- that is a good trick I use to get them to do things. Make them think I am having fun with out them.
My youngest with SID knows that when he doesn't do OT he has a bad day- so he always makes sure we do it. I also add a few things that work like Brain Gym activities o SID OT activities. When the weather is nice we do them outside

Dat ei vind ik zo mooi net als de tekst die erop staat. Deze tekst is heel belangrijk voor mij geweest en ik was hem eigenlijk alweer een beetje vergeten, bedankt voor het terughalen van mijn herinnering!
