It is already April 7th.
There is sunshine today, and it is beautiful outside. I hope it will stick around through tomorrow for the Easter holiday.
Today marks the 19th year since Jarom's death. Hard to believe he's been gone almost 20 years...
The girls had their first rehearsal today for Hercules, and I am on the parent committee in charge of props this time around.
The kids are enjoying their Saturday today. Except for maybe Bri, she is working on school work, bless her responsible nature.
Braden is going to be 3 next Saturday. My little baby is really becoming a big boy. He says the cutest things and makes the cutest expressions all the time. Both when he's excited and when he's mad. Lately he's been saying, in response to something I tell him, "Really?" with eyes big and smiling. He also loves to copy everything Levi says and does. Sometimes that's cute, sometimes not... :)
I had a harder week with Levi, mainly just trying to get him out the door on time in the mornings for school, and then just general listening and attitude stuff in the afternoons. I love that boy, with all my heart. Sometimes he tries every ounce of patience I have though. He always seems to know when I've become content in my ability to mother him, then he finds ways to stretch me farther, make me work harder, make me search again for my sanity. According to one book I'm reading, Levi is my most emotionally healthy child, capable of speaking his mind and showing defiance because he feels safest with me.... I will try to look at it that way more, sigh...
Parenting is certainly no easy task. There is really no easy in it at all.
I am so grateful for my children though, I love every one of them so much. Sometimes I wish I'd have come to this job better prepared. Exactly how that would have been achieved? I do not know.
