As I hand my almost three year a cookie, she says "thwank chu mommy"! Cookies are a definite food group at our house. "Annika can you get me a diaper for Zach" Annika: "No mommy"! "ill give you a cookie. "Ohhhhh Thwank Chu mommy!! works every time.
Gesh I thought 2 was bad this is a whole new world. I must admit I was told,warned more like it!!! Ekk Watch out world Annika is almost 3. Some days are so pleasant and fun (some) the rest are.........time outs, time to play in your room, "Ok annika that's enough! "Annika please stop touching that"! "Annika don't put food in Zachs mouth. Annika, Annika, Annika.
Holllla!! Yah with me? Can I get an amen!
I love her to pieces, like a rieces pieces! Hmm I could have one of those right now, but I already ate way to many mini eggs! Often when she is asleep and I have had a couple hours to recover I am amazed at who she is, her amazing personality, her sweet little smiles, her love for her friend Jesus. Often Jesus reminds me of his Grace for her and his love for her, it's something so deep and so wide I cant understand.
Deep and wide deep and wide!
I am commanded as her mother to love her and teach her in the ways she should go. Its hard real hard. (In nacho libre voice) Actually read the whole blog in that voice it will be more fun.
pause, Gotta run and give annika some juice that she has been screaming for while jumping on her bed for the last ten minutes!
Back: man she is stubborn, wonder where she gets that from. Richard!!
If your a mom you totally relate. In these past couple weeks that Rich has been home and helping me out like crazy (Thanks hubby) he has said often how do you do this everyday with only two hands?? HAHA, that makes me smile, big smile (once again nacho libre) Mom's often feel so run down with no one to notice all the things we do in a day.
Yah know what you deserve a latte, a really big extra whip latte.
This is one big rant!!
Brother, now she has to pee for the 20th time. Someone want a shift! I'll give yah a cookie?? (GRIN)
Cheers to cookies!!

when I can eat cookies i would trade taking annika for cookies. Done!
ReplyDeleteWow, do I remember those days! No worries, Linds, it gets different. I won't say it will get better cuz each stage has it's tough spots. But grace also means you will be given just what you need for the next adventure!! And remember that God chose YOU, not anyone else, to parent your children in just the right way. He doesn't make mistakes, so you are the perfect mommy for Annika and Zachary. Just remember to pray for wisdom and not for patience! :) Diana
