Do you know that I've been ...My sweet Meredith,<br />Do you know that I've been praying for you since before you were born? Matt and your beautiful children are beyond blessed to have you for a wife and mother, as I am beyond blessed to have you for a daughter! I know how frustrating it can be to have a little perfectionist personality in your child, and I also know about the stubborn, iron-will spirit of the strong-willed child. I am amazed at how well you teach your boys with a calmness that I can't even imagine. The only advice I can give you is to keep your eyes on Jesus. In Psalms David tells us that God has already gone before us to prepare the way for our futures. And His plans are perfect! <br />Please be easier on yourself. Remember that you are the perfect answer to many prayers of this mother.<br />I love you!

I also feel like a bad mom when I see these amazing blogging Moms and all the activities they do. I found myselfe creating things to do so I can blog, instead of just blogging from my heart. My kids love Nick Jr, and it works-My 3 year old can name dinosaurs and tell you if they are carnivores or herbivores.

I LOVED reading about Reid and Jace, and how different their little personalities already are (I'm soooo curious how my 2 boys will be alike or different in that regard). All of us feel ya on the whole blogging pressure thing ... I took most of the people I don't really "KNOW" off of my lists as to save some time and anxiety! :) And I mostly read interior design blogs now too. You're not alone!! :)<br /><br />Keep it up, you'll be so glad you have these "records" of your young family one day - get started on a book!! It will make all of the blogging feel so worth it. :)<br /><br />Happy week to you!The Rodriguez Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004521301859403022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019993283271664987.post-49856399502632906252011-01-25T05:54:46.578-08:002011-01-25T05:54:46.578-08:00I agree!

I feel like a bad mom most days because I don't do a preschool activity with Cole, but he gets that at school and at home we get to play together AND he learns other things with us.
