Saturday our little family headed over to the Hewitt's to celebrate Easter since Tim had to work on Sunday. Pop Pop tried his hardest to get Addie to pose on the tractor with him, but she wasn't getting anywhere near that thing. Hayes didn't seem to mind though and as always, cooperated nicely!
Addie got in some swing and bubble time with Ga Ga. We had to bribe her to come in and eat. Of course at the end of the day, she didn't want to leave and there were some tears shed as we buckled her in her carseat and pulled out of the driveway.
What a nice spring day! Happy Easter to everyone AGAIN!
Please God give me more patience. Patience with my two-year old little girl who seems to try very hard to make me angry as I prepare to pack up my little family for an 11 hour road trip to Florida. Addie, as sweet and as cute as she is, can also be very trying. I find myself constantly losing my temper and yelling at her these days. I never wanted to be a yeller, and spanking was something I always said "could be handled differently when I have my own children". Its funny how things don't go quite as we plan once the children actually get here. Tim says I am hard on her. I think I am the only one she will listen to since he is NOT hard on her. My hope is to raise her to be well-mannered and respectful, not spoiled and undisciplined. Tim and I try very hard to model this behavior for her, and we are constantly praising her for good behavior. This battle is a tough one. We have had a rough day today. Lots of tears have been shed and I have yelled one too many times. I am hopeful that after her nap we can begin again. Wow, this whole parenting thing is HARD! And to think, I got another one that has to turn two also!
