It's no secret I have had a hard time with my kids lately. Like really hard. Like I called Luke crying yesterday. It was bad, I promise. I get a little jealous when I read other mom's blogs who say they don't want their kids to grow up. What is wrong with me? Why can't I feel like that more often? Then I saw this yesterday

| How sweet and innocent do they look? They deserve to have a mother with more patience and understanding. One of my favorite times of the day is sneaking into their room at night to give them one last kiss. There is no fighting going on or talking back. Just them sleeping so soundly. Noah is a handful and I love when he falls asleep in the car for his nap. I love scooping him up and kissing those big lips that are always open(even when he sleeps). I need to remember more often that they aren't going to be little forever. I need to learn to cherish these moments more. |

Every HONEST mother can relate.
It is NOT easy being a mother to one, to two, OR FOUR. EVERY DAY, I have to "reboot" and decide how to approach certain situations, I fail every day, I also succeed every day. I have been reading a woman - named Laura Markham - who's blog / newsletter is called "AHA Parenting" and I really really think she has something very KEY to parenting that I think we often forget - she focuses on the connection we have with our kids and keeping ourselves recharged... BELIEVE ME, I read what she says and then I whip out the wooden spoon to beat William when he's being a total jerk... so I am in NO WAY preaching, I am approaching this from a super humble position of someone who has half the kids you do.... but I wanted to share - some days I can approach William with certain "connecting" tools and it works - other days, it doesn't.... YOU ARE AN AMAZING MOM. THANK YOU for being honest.
I'm finally reading this. Big. Fat. Ditto.
I'm in the exact same boat. I'm blaming summer vacation. You should too.
Some days are good, some days are bad. Parenting is hard work and some kids are harder than others. I pray each morning to be more patient with my kids...I think it's helping...maybe a little :)
