What my kids have taught me

Now they have taught me more then I can ever say but one of the very biggest is
"Go with the flow" Whenever I remember this we all do much better. Kaitlyn started the big lesson - she had the hardest work to do with her Type A mom and she is just as stubborn in exactly the same way as her dad. It is a quiet stubbornness like leading the horse to water but not being able to make it drink. Oh her and S go happily enough to the water but if they don't want to drink well they won't.

So anyway Kaitlyn did the heavy lifting and Owen is putting the finishing touches on.

Case in point, I agonized last week- should I wean Owen or just cut down to morning and afternoon feedings. I decided to quit but wanted to drop feedings slowly. My plan was to be done completely with breast feeding by Thursday. Owen has other plans and has voted for a.m. and p.m. feeds and I find that I have easily thrown out my weaning plan- who am I? It is so unlike me to give up a plan and a goal.

But I'll tell you a secret- Owen is stubborn like his mom not his dad.

We are a loud and angry stubborn and I have had a migraine since Sunday so really who needs to listen to him scream
