It's just HARD for me. I'm not a perfectionist, but it tries every bit of patience I have to let them help me.<BR/><BR/>It's better now that my girls are older, but still hard. I suggest making playdough with them...easy to make, hard to mess up, and they get to be hands on with the finished product. I posted my recipe on my recipe blog last week. www.mersrecipes.blogspot.commer@lifeat7000feethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07169865790593225070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-48235707515946431712009-03-26T11:02:00.000-06:002009-03-26T11:02:00.000-06:00yes yes yes! it's so hard to seize that moment when you're in the middle of it, but it's amazing how hindsight works. the important thing is that both you AND the girls figured out what does really matter and once you come to that realization the ugliness of it just melts away. the hard part is seeing the tension sneak it's ugly head before it's too late!<BR/>as for mommy-isms, i'm a firm believer that there are no firm plans once kids are introduced. i used to joke that you couldn't say any plans out loud for babies to hear because they would then know and find out some way to throw a wrench in them! like go and catch a cold when you had a great vacation planned ;-)farahttp://www.faldesign.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-80165598609824077062009-03-26T09:07:00.000-06:002009-03-26T09:07:00.000-06:00I so appreciate this story--it sounds like me.katyotshttp://openid.aol.com/katyotsnoreply@blogger.com
