Things that make you go
I think I am a good Mum. I rarely raise my voice (unless it is near the end of the day, I have eaten all my points, and no I don't want to watch the Incredibles for the third time thank you!), I don't have to threaten much (much if you don't count meal times every day - sit at your chair and eat or I will count to three and we will have no TV for a week 1..2...) and I don't use bribery EVERY day (If you sleep in your own bed all week and do all your poos in the toilet for a week you will get a little surprise on the weekend) and I am ever so patient when it comes to going out for a family excersion (if you are not in the car with BOTH shoes on in 5 seconds....) You get the picture. Well, inspite of all my best intentions my boys have turned out, and are turning out well. We forget that little ears take everything in that we say, and even though they can be concentrating on a puzzle, engrossed in their favourite film (the Incredibles at the moment) or playing make believe with their toys they hear everything we say - and remember it too! I was having a discussion with DH about something - not sure what anymore - but it had something to do with me saying I "could not do something". It was something that I was getting a little upset about and I can remember feeling like I just wanted to lash out and eat (a former habit of mine that I am currently succeeding in breaking) when all of a sudden I felt a little hand on my knee and a beautiful voice saying "Mummy, we can do anything - what can happen - we are Supers". Yes, we are all supers......
Ain't kids cute, mine come up with some great stuff sometimes!
