Well so I'm up and at it early *for me* this morning and it is raining and dreary. So I thought I would post some pictures from a couple of weeks ago when it was beautiful, sunny, and warm to make this cold, dreary, rainy day even drearier. I will be so glad when summer is finally here. I HATE cold weather. I consider anything below 75 degrees cold. You will never hear me complain that it is TOO hot because I would rather sweat than shiver any day.
Anyways, a couple of weeks ago we took a sheet and went outside to play and enjoy the beautiful weather. EA has started *screaming like a banshee* as another blogger described (her daughter) every time I walk into a room. If she sees me, she wants me. She puts her hands in the air and screams. If I don't come pick her up *right then* she starts crying and hangs her little head down so I pick her up because I can't take it. She's training me good! Maybe I need to take some lessons from her? Ah well, I want her to know that I will *always always always* be here for her if humanly possible even if she just *wants* me, not just when she needs me. You know, sometimes we just *want* our Mama. I don't usually write about the way I parent because it is such a touchy subject. I don't parent my child the way you parent yours and I won't judge you so please don't judge me. :-)

lol, I love them all! The last one is my favorite! E.A. is too precious! I love her little "rubber band" arms.
ReplyDeleteI will sure be ready for some summer weather too!
I'm kind of upset that Anna Lynn won't be able to play in the water this year because of her tubes, but I'm sure that in years to come, she will be a water bug just like me and John.
I personally love having a baby that wants me over everyone else; it melts my heart every time. Although, it can be a little frustrating trying to get ready with her :)
For whatever its worth, I think you and Bruce both are great parents! You are far stronger than me and I can't give you enough compliments!!!
Aww! Thanks so much Whitney! I am not stronger than you, all of us moms are stronger than we realize! :)
DeleteI definitely agree with you that it DOES get frustrating sometimes. I was holding her hands the other day while allowing her to walk and of course I was getting a little uncomfortable bending down but Bruce said something that almost made me cry. He said, Pretty soon she won't need us to hold her hands to walk because she'll be walking on her own. That just broke my heart and I pushed through the pain because it is true that she won't need or want us one day so I'm savoring every needy moment!
For what it's worth, I think you are a GREAT mom!
