Our children will teach us

Last week Adeline taught me to quit being a baby. We were outside playing in our backyard. She saw our neighbor walk by and started begging to go say hi. I kind of shrugged it off until she asked again. WE moved to the front and waited for her to pass. She came and told us she had lost her cat and stayed for a short visit. I felt bad for her, but enjoyed her visit.

I have been feeling down lately, I think I'm getting a little homesick. I start feeling like I have no friends, nothing to do and nobody wants anything to do with me. I hate feeling bad about myself. The girls help, but some adult conversation would be nice once in a while. Anyway due to Adeline's outgoingness it made me realize, maybe I need to go find me a friend instead of waiting for them to come to me. My goal is going to be to be more outgoing and find someone to visit or go to the park with. I'm glad that Adeline can be my example. I hope I can be an example for her.

She has really been trying my patience since I have gone back to work. She does not listen to me at all and it has been really tough. I feel like an awful parent and always yelling at her. If we are in public she is fine, but at home heavens sake I'd like to auction her off some days. I guess she will teach me some patience along the way as well.

Paisley is growing like a weed, she weighted 14lbs at her 4 month appointment. She can roll from back to belly, and belly to back. She is trying to master sitting up and standing. All the girl wants to do is stand up I wish she would be a better sleeper. She was up 4 times last night, and Adeline was up twice. Maybe one day I will get to sleep again.

Anyway, just thought I'd share Adeline's experience. It has been making me think a lot lately.
