So there's that. <br /> <br />Keep up the good work - you're raising wonderful little young men, even on the hard days.<br /><br />-AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357509571386642561.post-27437025281634223442013-11-12T06:03:13.206-07:002013-11-12T06:03:13.206-07:00Hi Britt - Oh my goodness.

There are days when I just wonder how the wheels fell off before things ever got started (ie: like 9 a.m.) and I wish I could hit 'redo' or 'undo' or maybe find the 'easy' button... You are doing great. Days like these just happen. And the more children you add, the crazier (yet more full, fun and amazing) things become! :) Remember you're doing a fantastic job and they are loved and cared for and learning about Jesus. And through the process of parenting you are becoming more like Jesus! It's a journey for sure, and I think I'm growing by leaps and bounds in the patience area myself! For me and our home... I try my best to have a loose 'schedule'. My guess is you have a pretty good flow to your day, but perhaps that would help them - particularly on Mondays. It could be simple (and at times mine have been)... Get up, breakfast, play. Room time (where they play quietly by themselves - and you work or do laundry, pay bills, etc.) Followed by a snack at the table. Then book/reading time with them. Send them outside for a few minutes while you make lunch. Then rest/naps after... You get the picture. I've found that moving the children through activities really helps, and typing this even convicts me - because there are times I don't do a good job of this at all! And the days where we have a good routine go so much smoother... This resource - managers of their home - really helped and blessed me. http://www.titus2.com/managers-of-their-homes.html It can look overwhelming, but going/reading through the materials gave me a good foundation of how to better run and manage our home. Hang in there! We're in the throes of a tough week trying to potty train a very spirited 25 month old ourselves! Any tips on that? I've been there done that three times so far, but she's breaking the mold for sure!

At some point in a day like that you just have to give in to the humor of it all and do whatever comes to mind to "reboot" - take them on a walk? a trip to town? a special reading time? Making cookies? Just don't think that you're not being a good enough mom - it's really got nothing to do with you.BajaMannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874805186467347954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357509571386642561.post-80287689876639526772013-11-11T16:48:54.564-07:002013-11-11T16:48:54.564-07:00Oh my goodness I laughed so hard at their shower a...Oh my goodness I laughed so hard at their shower antics! I've got no advice, I think this all just comes with raising boys!
