    My 6 year old, Ellie has taken the biblical counsel "Be ye therefore perfect” to the extreme lately. We spent way too long on homework last night because she had to make all of her letters just right. “They have to be perfect, mom.” She informed me when I tried to hurry her along. .  Read more >
