I am feeling old today. My children do this to me. Especially on their birthdays... and today being my youngest girls birthday... i am feeling it again. She is 2 today. I know some of you are thinking, thats not that old.... but when you consider that i also have a 7yr old daughter... when the youngest has a birthday.... doesnt matter how old they are... you are going to feel old. She is just growing up too quick. I just want them to stay those cute little babies who eat and then sleep and then eat and then sleep... all day. They were easier to manage. They didnt talk back to you. They couldnt. You didnt have to chase them anywhere... they couldnt run or walk. But they have to grow up... its all what life is about. They grow into toddlers. They start talking... and you start understanding them. They run everywhere... i suppose at least im starting to get into shape from chasing her around everywhere. They get into all the things that arent allowed to... and are really sneaky about it... but then thats how they learn what they are and arent allowed to do.... right and wrong. Then they turn into little children and all the questions start. "How does this work?" "Why does this happen?" "Whats this?" and so on. And they just dont listen. Then the punishments start..... no tv, time-outs, grounding. And thats where i am at at the moment. And looking at my children and their personalities now, i am not looking forward to their teenage years. But then they may settle down before then.... i hope. But we do clash quite often at the moment and if thats any indication of what their teenage years might be like.... then boy am i in trouble. But what can i do....
til next time..........
