Yesterday was Ella Claire's 1 year well check. She ended up not being able to have her immunizations due to a nagging cough and bronchitis...ugh! Greta Banks tagged along for the appointment and received the sweetest compliment in the waiting room. She was helping take off Ella Claire's jacket ever so gently and kindly. She saying to her sister, "come here sweetie!" Other moms there oohed and ahhed over her nice demeanor...only wish she was that kind all the time!
It's just plain hard trying to raise kids...the little things no one ever tells you! How do encourage your child to speak to other adults when they ask a question but then to remind them never to speak to strangers? How do you teach them to be thankful for what they have but then never accept candy from strangers? How do you discipline them for having such a strong attitude about not wanting to obey but then encourage them to say to no to others if it's not a good choice? How do you encourage Independence (dressing self, brushing teeth, etc) but then not step in when it takes them so loooong to complete the task?
Ugggggh....I only think it's going to get worse!
