I know I should leave time, but, sometimes I don't, and I just need her wearing shoes so we can go buy milk. Urgh. <br /><br />I'm glad your kids are capable. And I'm glad mine is too. She's just sometimes not as capable as she thinks she is.<br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232191251249416564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-76423854121446033462013-09-07T07:55:18.989-07:002013-09-07T07:55:18.989-07:00You need to read "The Minds of Boys."

It is a great book.Teenershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980028799900643878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-89755364502308724132013-09-07T00:46:59.799-07:002013-09-07T00:46:59.799-07:00Love this.

Imagine a 4-year-old boy grabbing on to the lawnmower while the dad struggles to push its weight plus the weight of an un-practiced child. However, all my father-in-law had to say about that was "I'm not raising grass; I'm raising boys."Angela Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812795184595491517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-69054795116249389842013-09-06T21:32:33.486-07:002013-09-06T21:32:33.486-07:00This is Amazing!

Respect the baby/child as a whole person and that means let them do their thing. See where it goes, spot them if necessary but let it happen. Let them teach themselves. Its so good and I love that you do that with your boys too. Mine is only 10 months old and looking at your boys is like a little glimpse into the future. :) tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493787747318377586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-40379380986532861722013-09-06T17:04:24.588-07:002013-09-06T17:04:24.588-07:00Great Post...You are an "AWESOME MOM"Great Post...You are an "AWESOME MOM"LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298730433992247739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-71455017911226751882013-09-06T13:58:31.530-07:002013-09-06T13:58:31.530-07:00Amazing post!!!!
