That is so needed on a day like today. I really do my best, but sometimes feel that my inability to keep cheery, sing-songy, smiley attention on my DS during all his waking hours means I'm somehow a horrible mom. On a day like today where he screamed all day long, only to turn into my little snuggle bunny when I took his shirt off, a post like this made me simultaneously smile and almost break into tears. Thanks so much!

This was a much-needed read today. I've been really down, feeling like I am too cranky, feeling guilty about my PT childcare, feeling like my toddler will just think of me as the person who yells at her. But after reading this, I know I'm the person who yells AND gives her baths, reads, hugs, and oh-so-many smiles. Good gravy, I love that kid, but oh, how cranky I get.

This was a nice post. Thanks for reminding us that, in the midst of the daily grind that is Life, we are doing a pretty darn good job of raising kids. And Treespeed is right on!

One that is definitely missing, you tell them "no" and set limits to help guide them.
