All of our parenting techniques we used with our compliant, adorable, loving 23-year-old years ago don't really work with our strong-willed, adorable, loving 4-year-old! God has a way of humbling us through our children, that is for sure!!<br /><br />Janet and KevinJanet and Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951028593473613761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-51883156998966761972009-05-06T22:25:00.000-05:002009-05-06T22:25:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing all of your moments with us, th...Thanks for sharing all of your moments with us, this mommy moment encouraged my heart. My 4 year old dealt with many of the same issues (but was ours from the get go). We did learn that he displayed signs of kid hypoglycemia and now feed him before we go anywhere and he does great! He also turned four :) Cherish every moment, your little Lucy truly is a gift from God.<br /><br />Hugs from this missionary mommy,<br />Sarah DawnSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295906251145450659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-6330020561505374872009-05-06T22:21:00.000-05:002009-05-06T22:21:00.000-05:00You said you were knitting....

Nothing helps until they get something in their tummies. Within minutes they change back to their 'normal' selves. I started carrying glucose tablets in my purse and pull them out when needed. :)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032945144862346604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-11679753692445118332009-05-06T10:26:00.000-05:002009-05-06T10:26:00.000-05:00Well, I enjoyed reading this post...laughed at the...Well, I enjoyed reading this post...laughed at the very normal behavior of a toddler trying to get her way (good mothering, by the way), and the only thing missing is where's the picture of the coffee pot flames?

Katie's tantrums. However, I did bring her home at birth, so I think the problems are mine:) <br /><br />Katie has a hard time at the fabric store as well. It is really boring for the little ones. The last time I took her she promised to stay in the cart and be a big girl. As she tried to climb out of the cart I reminded her of her promise and she said "I was just kidding you momma". <br /><br />We will miss this stuff when they are grown right?Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292647623476723002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-70699983875439705142009-05-06T08:52:00.000-05:002009-05-06T08:52:00.000-05:00I actually thought about not going to McD's but it...I actually thought about not going to McD's but it was almost 1:30 and I didn't have anything else to give her to eat...and we were 30 minutes from home.

After the restlessness at the store (I KNOW, it was boring) & the flip flop kick off (I KNOW, she was frustrated) the McD would have been the treat / lunch that was taken off the table. She'd have to eat crackers until we got home to make a regular lunch.<br /><br />I use the "She's 3" excuse alot.....=)Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555423737900445968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-41624918191755233522009-05-06T08:00:00.000-05:002009-05-06T08:00:00.000-05:00Your coffee maker caught on fire!

He cant live without his "cup o' joe" each morning!<br /><br />This super secret project sounds fun! You should post pictures of your progress!

That will have to be after basic though ;)<br /><br />God Bless!Brittnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662828344553383501noreply@blogger.com
