wow!
My daughter has taught me a valuable lesson recently. I need to follow through with things that I say I am going to do or I need to choose my words more carefully. My usual response for Laila when she asks to do something or wants something is "soon Laila". I think that I usually intend to do what I say will be done "soon" but Laila's latest reactions seem to prove otherwise. Now when I tell her something like daddy will be coming home soon, she will get upset and say noooo, today!! I have confused my daughter and she apparently has no idea that soon is normally a good thing. Lately I have been saying daddy will be home later..or if appropriate..any minute. It's hard teaching little ones the concept of time.

I totally agree about the time thing especially since time seems to go slower for kids. Remember how long driving somewhere took as a kid, or waiting til Christmas etc. And now time flies by so fast- except when you are sick. Glad you are feeling better!
i'm glad you're going through all of this first! then by the time judah is that age you will be a expert and help me out! :)
Isn't it amazing all the things your children teach you as your trying to teach them. :)
