My Family

Important lessons I learned while taking pictures of my family:

1. Never assume your children care that you are a professional and should therefore be able to get a good family picture

2. Never tickle someone when you are above them on a slide

3. Never tickle someone when you are extremely ticklish

I decided to try to get a smile from my husband, he flipped me right over.familypictures1Do you like my death grip on the remote for my camera? I know what is important. I am fine with falling as long as I get the shot!

Too honest?

My 3yr old recently realized that he can use the bathroom to get out of things he does not want to do, like going to bed. Part of me knows that he is stalling but the other part struggles with the whole “I really don’t want him to have to go to the bathroom and I am telling him no”. This is the conversation that goes on in my head every time he tries it, which is pretty much every nap time and bedtime. Today though I asked (told) him he needed to go before nap and he said, “I do not need to go now, I will need to go once I am in bed”.

While I admire his honesty and daring, part of me was thinking is it bad parenting that he does not realize that this is bad!

We had a little chat about it though and I am pretty sure it is clear now, hopefully…

Here is a sneak peek of my next post
