Its been awhile since I blogged. I feel like I have had no time to myself. Latley Allison wants to take only an hr nap. I let her fuss for another 1/2 hr because I need to get stuff done. I feel like a bad parent these days. I have been loosing patience with Allison. I always want her to be on my schedule, but some days she just wants to do what she wants to do. Strong willed Mother + strong willed child = 2 unhappy people. I really hope she knows how much i love her even when i loose patience.
Recently i wrote to my friends Susan. I lived with her and her husband Todd and they made parenting seem so easy. I told her about allisons strong willed temper. She of course reminded me of Hannah her oldest childs strong willed personality. She said that even though she is strong willed now it will benefit her when she is older. Oh, its tough now but i do look forward to the future. I miss the Petersons a great deal. I learned so much about parenting from them.
The happy family. We had a great time one night just playing on our bed. I had to capture this moment.
With the weather being as it has been here in Seattle i have tried to find different things for allison to do. One day we built a fort and stayed in our PJs until noon. That was a lot of fun. I have never done that but she loved it. Another day we played with plado. She loved squishing it. Its hard to keep her busy but i do try. I guess as a mother I have to learn to go with the flow sometimes.
