I have this boy - this wild, almost four year old, sword wielding, dirt digging, hose spraying, LOUD, train track building, matchbox car hoarding, ball throwing, tape measuring, block organizing, tender-hearted boy . He has changed my life. He has changed almost everything about my parenting. Mostly in a very good way. He taught me that I did not have it all figured out...suddenly I became the mom I never thought I would be. He humbled me. But I have also found myself more exasperated and frustrated than I ever was before as well. I have said things I *swore* I would never say like "If you don't come here right now you are going to bed for the rest of the day!"...at 11:00 a.m....yeah, not my proudest moment or smartest threat ;) I know better. I know the right things to say and the right way to handle defiance...but this boy - well, all my logic flies out the window. I have lost my temper more times than I would like to admit.

Is this where we post 4th of July plans? We are spending time with the family, 18 people in one house, 5 of them 3 and under. Fun times and memories for all, biking, swimming and fun together

ReplyDeleteHolidays to me are family times I enjoy seeing my sons eyes light up from the sparklers and trying to be a big helper in the kitchen and invite people over who may not have any place to eat or family.
