Each day passes with our first born, now young woman, and we have NO clue what we're doing! Papa and I literally look at each other and make all this parenting stuff up as we go along! (Shhhh, don't tell the kiddos that. We have to maintain hand!)

- Too much time in your room?

I'm not a girly girl so I specifically requested a no-nonsense low-level stress child that liked to sit at home with me on Friday nights and watch 1950s Dorris Day movies! A daughter that liked to be pretty, but more so liked to be comfortable and wear sensible shoes!
This can't be good. I'm afraid. Very afraid!
I thought I was following your blog all this time but that you hadn't updated it - now I'm here and I've missed out on a lot. I'm catching up now.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your birth story tradition. Thank you!
I was the complete opposite of my Mom yet we got along really well when I was a teenager - I have a feeling that Emma will be the complete opposite of me. Good luck with your very pretty and smart daughter - I think you will all do fine in these coming years!
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous inside and out! I hope you figure it all out so you can give me advice in just a few short years!!!
