I have several pouty pictures like this one. I say "Can I take your picture?" response: "only if you buy me a new toy!" Not happenin'. So, we get pouty face. He's still very handsome with a pouty face, and that brow furrow adds such depth to his youthfulness....don't ya think? This picture actually isn't as pouty as a few of the others, I'll spare him those.Court and I had a rough one tonight. He likes to push my buttons, and he pushed the wrong one. There was a little yelling and a few tears and some apologizing and hugs and kisses, but I feel like such a mean mom.
As much as he pushes my buttons, I just love this kid. He is such a boy. He's constantly running through the house, jumping from couch to ottoman to couch, Always hitting his foot on something as he lands from his handstands (which he is very good at), and has to wrestle with Carter on my bed with his shirt off. He has this soft spot for his siblings, it usually shows when I least expect it. I wouldn't say he's an easy child to raise, or a hard child. Parenting is hard in general. Every once in awhile I feel like my life is getting easy with my kids getting older...no more baby, but then I have a day that tests my patience. Today I failed. Thank Goodness I get another chance at it tomorrow.

I know what you mean. I've had those moments of tears but then in the end it usually brings us closer.
I wish we could have gotten together more when we were there. We miss you guys!
Boy, do I hear ya! (except for the no baby part.) The names in the Arthur books are Talon, Tucker and Eliza. Have fun with that!
That is how I make it from day to day knowing that there is a new day tomorrow! Hey I was wondering if I could buy from you a monogram like you have above your bed. That is so cute! Email me at jennilynkentatyahoodotcom. Thanks!
I'm sad that you had a poopy day...kids can do that to us can't they? "I'm gonna tell" is what drives me nuts. I want to know what is going on but not every little thing. Sometimes I think "oh great I hope they don't remember that when they grow up." I guess I have to really start watching what I do and say! And yes thank goodness we have another chance! But I totally think you are a great mom so don't be so hard on yourself!!
Hey its good to know that I'm not the only one who somedays wants to just scream. My kids could probably tell you so good stories. It is nice to know we have tomorrow to start over.
I hate it when I lose it. It never helps things and I always feel so bad and guilty after the fact. Kids are great to get over it and love and forgive you a minute or two later and I can continue to cry for another hour. It is hard to be a parent - but without sounding to cheesy it is the closest way we can be like Heavenly Father and I am so grateful to be a parent.

cute comment!
I can understand this post completely tonight. Although mine button pusher is 14 and I have a feeling things could get worse before they get better! I am hoping I am wrong. I am afraid to pray for patience because I am sure I will be forced with hard times to learn it.!
Welcome to parenting, huh? You couldn't have explained it better. These last few weeks have been your kind of day for me. Gotta love these wee little ones that we get to try to teach everything we know.
