A special day with Cooie



I have been blessed with wonderful family, who allow me the freedom to do things for myself every once and a while. Today, there was a need for some one on one time with Cooie, who is about to turn 3! We had a wonderful time being together and it's so nice to have them one on one on occasion. We did some shopping and went by the river and enjoyed throwing some rocks. Connor is still so little and sometimes I forget that because he's no longer the baby. I am hoping some mommy time will help with the tantrums he's been having. No one really goes into detail about how hard it is raising children. I do have tons of respect for my mom now that I am one. It's kind of an art form! You don't get an instruction manual, you mold them and still feel you can do better. I know with Connor we are finding those super nanny clips with the worst possible scenario a little too close to home. We are mastering our discipline and tweaking it as necessary. All the worry and craziness is still worth it. I am just so happy they are all healthy and happy.
