CK. Please tell your Daughter A that I'd like to order a family of 6 toilet paper babies complete with accessories, and when she has them ready I'll have the cash for her. (and that one way she could use the cash is to buy another roll of paper and tape!) Heather, (mum) Thanks for the great memory!

And I thought she was just stealing the toilet paper. And my tape from my desk. I forbade her. "Get your own toilet paper and tape," I would say. Your experience has given me a new perspective on my daughter's disturbing behavior. (Some times were more disturbing than others, and I will let you figure that out yourself.) They're called tape babies and my daughter sells them at school for fifty cents. She has cleverly crafted hand-held babies out of toilet paper and tape. She used my permanent markers also and drew faces on them. They're selling like hotcakes. She didn't stop with the babies, she is creating accessories: high chairs with movable parts, car seats, beds. They are intricate and clever. Maybe I was squelching her passion. Maybe, this coach that empowers people to live their dreams, was caught up in her head about what it 'should' look like. Today, I am presenting my daughter with a roll each of toilet paper and tape and telling her to go for it. Thank you Michelle, for helping me to see what is important! <em>CK Reyes's last blog post..<a href='http://divinepurposeunleashed.com/michelles-search-for-divine-purpose-the-early-years-part-1/' rel="nofollow">Michelle's Search for Divine Purpose The Early Years (Part 1)</a></em> I am the mother of a 10-year-old entrepreneur!

There were very few cars on this country road in those days, and the ones they saw sped by. There were no neighbors living close by either. When Michelle saw the hopeless situation she picked up her goods from the roadside and walked with her friend - a few yards back to the country inn (that was also her home). Here she did a thriving business selling to the guests. (She also sold to the staff and her parents, but I don't think they really had a choice.) <em>heatherk's last blog post..<a href='http://divinepurposeunleashed.com/michelles-search-for-divine-purpose-the-early-years-part-1/' rel="nofollow">Michelle's Search for Divine Purpose The Early Years (Part 1)</a></em> And what about the time you and your friend set up an ice tea stand by the roadside.
