two 1/2 years old

Let me count the times I got to connect today with my bold toddler.
There was the moment she hit another child with her residual anger from not getting to chew on the cellphone.

There was the screaming episode that was really a request for sleep. She was out within 5 minutes.

There was the 156th time this month that she didn't want to get in the car when we needed to leave.

The "I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME" declaration.

And the 6 times she got out of bed after we said good night....finally closing her eyes at 10:11pm.

Thank you God for all those opportunities to practice love.

  2. I connected to Zachary today when I had an opportunity to complete with him that he was responding from "I"m stupid" vs "here are the things we need to finish.
