Your prayers






I heard the sweetest prayer tonight by Kylie! "Dear God, thank foo for my daddy, I love my mommy, and my room. Thank you for my room and my blankie and my bed, amen." I love listening your prayers each night and often have to cover my laughs. Tonight when Blake came to tell you "Nigh, nigh" you didn't want to kiss him. He leaned down and opened his mouth with his tongue. You said gross and grabbed his head to pull it down to kiss his forehead. It was so precious! I love watching the two of you interact. I know that you guys will fight at times, but I hope that through it all you will be friends and love each other.

She's got a mouth on her

Oh Kylie, what are we going to do with you?! We are working on back talking right now. Kylie is aware too since I caught her putting Cinderella in time out for back talking! I was proud and a little surprised. Is that really what I sound like when I'm talking to you? I know I say it all the time, but being a parent is one of the hardest things. I'm trying to find that balance. You are only three and what do I let go and what do I not let go? You talk non-stop so when you are presented with something you don't like it's almost natural for you to begin making your case and argue. I want so much to teach you right from wrong and give you the skills to make the right decision. So sometimes I may be a little too hard on you, but please remember I love you!
