Ok. So it's been forever since I have blogged anything. Mostly because i feel like i need to be cute and witty all the time. It's really time I get back into the swing of things witty or not. so I'm going to start with my kids ages. Jack is 2, Aaron is 4, Nariyah is 5, and Baily is 12! Wow when your a new mom and everyone comes unto you saying enjoy them, cause it goes by so fast. Well let me tell you it really does. It feels like yesterday I was living In a one bedroom apartment with my little Baily. It's funny where life takes you. At just 17 I had a baby and a crappy apartment and an even crappier car.
So the past two weeks I have been taking this parenting class. It's all about development through play, and positive parenting. I love it! But I feel like I already do everything that the teacher is telling us to try to do. Not to toot my own horn, but I guess I'm the perfect parent. Ummmmmm NO!! Parenting 4 kids is the hardest thing I can think of, and I have a wonderful partner in this too. But back to what the teacher is saying. Like let the child lead in play time. I do that. Mostly cause I'm cleaning around them while they are playing. Or (sad to admit this) playing with my dumb smart phone. I really need to put that stupid thing down and listen better. That's my next week resolution. Only use my phone as a phone. HHMMMMMM. Let's see how this goes. I guess that's the thing. I complain that the kids grow up to fast and then when we are supposed to be making memories, I'm cleaning or on my phone. So I will relax and let my kids lead me through play. I need to enjoy them, cause it all goes by so fast.
