This morning as I was making blueberry pancakes for our family I was thinking how did this come about up until 2 yrs. ago I didn't ever make pancakes…well what changed is I now have a 2 yr. old who loves them so about 6-8 months ago I started making pancakes and then adding blueberries because its one of her fav fruits and now we have a weekly tradition. Its the simplest things…a special prayer before dinner, an annual outing with a friend or relative, decorating the weekend after thanksgiving, putting a special ornament up, heading back to where it all began with your spouse, whatever your tradition remember this is teaching your children continuity and that some things are very special and reserved for once a year etc. so go make a new tradition!
