He was so cute. (He's 10 now.)

He fell asleep, woke up twenty minutes later, PICKED UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF . . . when we got home, I put him in his crib where he finally finished that fit.

I have a picture to prove it and now I think of that almost fondly. He was so cute. (He’s 10 now.)

Someday that strong will, will come in handy. I keep trying to convince myself of that fact. May God bless the toddler years. Someday that strong will, will come in handy.

Those tantrums can be so exhausting for both mother and child - amazing how a nap can revive them and give them a fresh start. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

To remember not to parent in the moment, but for the future.<br/><br/>God give us grace! Our family went to the zoo yesterday too!

It’s tough to balance unconditional love with a child’s age and what they need to develop into a healthy human being someday, isn’t it? To remember not to parent in the moment, but for the future.

God give us grace!
