Sunday morning, boys in sleep wear, my girl wearing her favorite princess dress and crown that she could wear 24/7. I have them watching some cartoons while I try to tidy up the house before our fun. We just got back from their school picnic and it was great, they had an amazing magician that had the kids watching his every move, totally held their attention. It was at a park, they all enjoyed running around.
Now baby is asleep, they are hanging out with my husband and I have a minute. So with three kids, I find that one of them will act up about something that to us seems small but for them is the most important thing at the moment. Last night my oldest didn't want to go to bed, we have a bed time of 7pm, we are flexible if its a little over to actually sleep, but in their room for sure. There is always something that comes up and my son tells me, "my brain told me to get out of bed," and what can I say to that? I remember my mom telling me when I discovered my brain talking and thinking, when I was reading a book, and I was so shocked that my mouth was closed but my brain was reading.
This morning my daughter could not settle on shoes to wear, it probably took a half hour of crying and negotiation to figure it out. It's very interesting with my baby that we are being told that his understanding and knowing what he wants are at a two year old level, but the words are not there, so he gets really frustrated when he is not getting what he wants, and we are not understanding what he wants.
You know what they say, the first two years you are working on getting them to walk and talk, and then the rest of their lives we teach them to sit down and be quiet.
The joys of parenthood!
Enjoy your Sunday,
Coach Yulia
