Oh, wait, I do...No advice here, just acceptance :). Oh, wait, I do have advice - don;t worry about others judging her or your behavior. NOBODY has a lifestyle that is deemed perfect. Also, regardless of WS, kids are going to try to get away with things - heck, even my husband does sometimes too, LOL - so don't beat yourself up over every infraction. I am learning as I get older that Brady may not be changing as quickly as I want him to, but my perception and tolerance is changing quickly, because I realize that this is a journey we will be on for a long time, I can't pass out now. Your weird, extended family will be together soon - summer 2010! :)Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351269886862492620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141785912384235329.post-17243629658995050742009-01-26T06:41:00.000-06:002009-01-26T06:41:00.000-06:00I have to agree the most with Nancy's comment. At ...I have to agree the most with Nancy's comment. At least you have a weird extended family now, and I am totally there for you. Chris and I were talking the other day about friends and the value of them. He thinks I should have more friends to go out with and get away, I tell him the friends I want around me( you guys) just live too far away. At this point in my life I am more happy with firends online who understand than friends in person who just don't get it!<BR/>Love to you. No real advice except to let you know you are not alone!Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277546803977737835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141785912384235329.post-15031048557071867732009-01-23T18:05:00.000-06:002009-01-23T18:05:00.000-06:00Just know that you will NEVER be alone in this jou...Just know that you will NEVER be alone in this journey. Your kid came with a big, extended, weird family, whether you want us or not. :) I really want to meet you someday.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752344076797977728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141785912384235329.post-16885550404884076752009-01-23T17:31:00.000-06:002009-01-23T17:31:00.000-06:00Oh yeah, i understand completely - i get so frustr...Oh yeah, i understand completely - i get so frustrated with Jai sometimes i just want to scream at him, there really isnt any impulse control. Its hard watching younger siblings push past them in certain developmental aspects, i will never forget one day in the car praising Jai for counting to 4 correctly and a little voice piped up and counted to 10 flawlessly - broke my heart.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08591859777209767308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141785912384235329.post-50711820013807546602009-01-23T12:04:00.000-06:002009-01-23T12:04:00.000-06:00With you...

Like worrying about people judging you. That will get easier. <BR/>Caleb does things that he knows he shouldn't all the time. Just last night he snuck a huge piece of pizza after we clearly explained to him he couldn't have it. As soon as we walked out of the kitchen, he was stuffing his face with it. That is just the tip of the ice burg. <BR/>Please remember that our kids are so alike in a lot of ways, but they are still individuals. Just because Caleb is still rotten at 11 doesn't mean that Payton won't grow out of it. <BR/>I guess you just have to cling to hope to get you through. <BR/>I know it is hard. I am with you all the way.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568642727069856850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141785912384235329.post-86086794957484597632009-01-23T11:25:00.000-06:002009-01-23T11:25:00.000-06:00I am right there with you my friend.

Lila wants so much to "play" with Ava's friends and they are good with her but she just can't relate. sometimes i feel i just can't give appropriate time with either one of them and it worries me, especially Ava getting older and wanting to be "somewhere else" i don't want her to to be happier somewhere else, BIG SIGH. Just wanted you to know we are human and these feeling/concerns/worries are justified and somethings we cannot not fix. big hug.Teshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788720547065096655noreply@blogger.com
