A thousand times yes -- and you are right: no...Yes. A thousand times yes -- and you are right: not alone. My little will-warrior is an opinionated twenty-one-month old. Current battles (that weren't on your list, but probably sound familiar) include: which lullaby mommy may sing more than two lines of, nursing (we "weaned" five months ago), and who gets to buckle the stroller/car seat/high chair...(along with 90% of what you listed). Rejoicing with you over these beautiful hilarious children. And repenting with you daily. Thankful for new mercies every morning!becomingwhoiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158111293148313559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661996260329351614.post-51250179374028851902017-01-06T19:18:37.216-05:002017-01-06T19:18:37.216-05:00Thanks for the recommendations!

It was bedtime and the flight was delayed (I had actually scheduled the 6:30 flight thinking we would be in the air by 7 and the white noise would put her to sleep). As she slowly lost it the woman kitty corner to us glared. The flight attendant (still makes me misty eyed to think about) came over to us and told me "Just let her cry- thats what babies do." She then brought me over some water for me and my daughter and a snack for both of us from First Class. With just that permission to allow her to cry- I relaxed and Baby Girl fell asleep. I will ALWAY fly Delta because of that flight attendant. (There were many other awesome attendants/desk clerks during that trip that helped us out).TTABabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448579844692674801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661996260329351614.post-35115850331803676442016-05-06T21:56:39.554-04:002016-05-06T21:56:39.554-04:00Well…they're happy to give grace….as long as t...Well…they're happy to give grace….as long as they get rewarded for it right? ;) maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671635849994739359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661996260329351614.post-23291666461315848482016-05-05T18:54:16.984-04:002016-05-05T18:54:16.984-04:00Oh Maggie, you're just the best.

I'm reading it now at the end of a week when juggling 2 kids at such different phases left me so exhausted and wondering how stay-at-home moms do it all the time. And wondering how anyone ever has more than two. And thanking God that he never put it on my heart to have more than two, because clearly I wouldn't do well with being outnumbered. I was so excited the weekend was here and my husband would be home so we could have man-on-man defense and I wouldn't have the guilt of only meeting the needs of one child at a time. Is it a cop-out that I'm actually ready to go back to work so that I can just come home after missing them and feverishly love on them both before bed, and share the love on the weekends, and not have 5 full weekdays where it's just me trying to be 2 places at once? I think my hormones are talking. I so needed this today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083900587545390159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661996260329351614.post-38710254275900964232015-09-21T18:39:39.122-04:002015-09-21T18:39:39.122-04:00I love your writing, thanks for letting us into yo...I love your writing, thanks for letting us into your brilliant thoughts.

The ...Lets start off with - no its blue and black.<br /><br />The tweets made me laugh until I cried.<br /><br />As for the "not real mom" story. It sounds like its a situation in which it is not a "legal" but rather familial agreement. It speaks volumes to the benefits of social services being involved. The foster system isn't perfect but it can allow for support/guidance on child development and the need to tell a child their story. It makes me think of all the people who have said ignorant adoption things like "I could never love someone elses child" suddenly becoming adoptive parents via a family situation. When I worked as an OT in pediatrics it always amazed me how quickly foster children start calling their foster parents mom and dad. She is not a fraud for allowing her to call her Mom but rather by not telling her child her story.<br /><br />TTABabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448579844692674801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661996260329351614.post-29308858628895249682015-02-26T13:11:05.958-05:002015-02-26T13:11:05.958-05:00That is a perfect Fix!
