(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Pick Your Battles
Our 32-month-old is going through a "challenging" phase - she's back to beating on her brother, she must do everything by herself and "No!" has become her middle name. At times like these, we've learned, you gotta pick your battles. Like today when she refused to nap in her own bed and insisted on lying down in Mom & Dad's room. Almost 2 (relaxing) hours later, I snapped this gem. Sometimes giving in = ftw!

LOL! Awee. Toddlers can be tough at times for sure. Cute while they are sleeping though hahaha :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure. I love checking on her when she's sleeping; so peaceful and sweet!
DeleteI've had so many I can't remember which one was last :P
ReplyDeleteI hear ya there, mama!
DeleteLol! My boys both STILL try to crawl into my bed every night but at 7 and 3 I had to put my foot down. Totally have done the same thing with a youngster though; it's all about picking the battles!
ReplyDeleteHaha I can see that being both sweet and a little irritating. :)
DeleteI'm losing the never ending battle to keep a clean house! I had it spotless yesterday and I wake up to a massive mess. UGH.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on this one Randa! One thing I've started doing is taking a donation box to our local thrift store about once per week (and/or collect an extra box of garbage/recycling). I'm finding the best way to get a handle on this area is to reduce all that STUFF!
DeleteSometimes they need a change in scenery- always in their room. My son wanted to sleep on the sofa for the night last week so we let him.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't hurt as long as it doesn't become a habit, right?
DeleteOh I GET this! Our three year old is the most stubborn creature I have ever met! Definitely have to pick your battles!
ReplyDeleteOur girls would definitely get along! (Or, hmmm, on second thoughts maybe they'd just butt heads! ;)
