Transparency Tuesday: New routine

-
So.… I've been a bit absent from the blog... Myself and the boys are now in a new routine. They have now finally started school and getting used to the adjustment is something else. I haven't needed to wake up at 6 for at least 2 years now looool, so going back to that is a wake up call. But I'm so proud of the boys.. they have adjusted well. The first day was... a nightmare. Jeremiah was screaming and crying and throwing himself on the floor... and Matthew thought I was coming into school with him, so the moment he realized he was crying and crying... and the school had to call me back to collect him. The second day... it was a complete 360 and they walked into the school like they've been doing it all their lives. I felt like the worst mother ever on the first day-- there were other kids having tantrums and meltdowns but I felt like.. it's always my children that have meltdowns.. or this could just be my own paranoia..

Transparency Tuesday: Not a great day

-
I sometimes forget that just like us, our kids can have not so good days. Maybe they're just not in the mood... they're a little bit more sensitive today, or something has just really upset them and they have just decided they will cry until they decide they want to stop.

Well... shouting. lol. Wailing. So I gave him a hug and a kiss and we went. Still crying. I tried to butter him up with some juice. Gave it to him.  Cried after inhaling the juice. At this point I know he wanted a little bit of attention... Still shouting/crying. So at this point until we got home I just came to the conclusion he has decided this is what he wants to do. lol. But I don't take into consideration that even young children can...

Thoughtful Thursday: Affirmations

Speak over your children! Every positive thing you want to see manifested over your child's life, speak it into existence. Do you believe this works? I do. As much as you may or may not believe, the words that we say carry power and it does work. Why do you think when children get bullied, they start to believe what the bully is saying to them? We as parents must be awfully careful not to speak anything ill fated over our kids. They do stress us out.. They do frustrate us.. We do get tired of repeating ourselves.. But it doesn't mean that we must speak negative words over them. Unknowingly our parents have done it to us.. and we have most probably become what they said- but that doesn't mean we need to follow the trend. My child is beautiful/handsome My child is intelligent My child is helpful My child is humble All of these words you will see come to life in your children as you speak it over them. And as you're doing it.. as they get older.. te...
