And seeing their smiles is better than hearing their whines ;o) XOXOJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777280961954748110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-59295125997108099722012-10-03T11:45:10.915+02:002012-10-03T11:45:10.915+02:00made me cry Jess- (what a surprise, right?)

YOU are the most important 'thing' in their little lives right now.<br />Keep up the good mommying, DiL<br />xoxoxoxox Taidukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684980386130764138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-26218665219938148302012-10-03T07:33:50.105+02:002012-10-03T07:33:50.105+02:00They're fine without my attention but then the...They're fine without my attention but then they start to get whiny because I push it too far... we can go all morning with me bustling in and out of the kitchen or laundry room and then I realize that it's already lunchtime and naptime and I haven't even played with them! So I definitely need to grow in this area. Instead of getting impatient when they start to whine I should use that as a trigger to stop what I'm doing and give them some Mom-time. Even if it's only ten minutes! Even if that means it'll take me an hour to do the dishes ;o) Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777280961954748110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-70606708382346802162012-10-02T14:58:26.031+02:002012-10-02T14:58:26.031+02:00I'm so with you on this!!
