Halle Update

Well, it has been so nice getting all of your feedback. I know some people don't like getting advice, but I really enjoy hearing everyone's ideas. I have to say that what most of you told me we already do it. What I realized from your comments is that I just need to remain consistent and CALM. I get so worked up, but when I am around other kids, I realize that they are all alike! They are wild animals that we have to train. I don't know about you, but it's the hardest job I have ever had. I like to say that anyone can be a mom, but not all moms raise their kids to be civilized and well behaved humans. Josh has told me that I choose to fight EVERY battle. I correct and redirect everything at home. He says that I may need to relax more with some things. I ran into a mom at the zoo that had 6 kids, 6 and under. One every year! I asked her what her greatest advice was for a mom. She said that you must relax. So, I know I have always had a hard time with this, and it is now my new goal. I have already found it working for me! :) I absolutely LOVE Halle's personality. I don't want to take that away from her. She is so social and lovable. I can't wait to see the woman she becomes. Watch out and don't mess with her!
