It is frustrating that you keep having to tell them the same thing over and over, day after day until they get it. I hope that she learns her name.

Why does being a mom sometimes feel like being a drill instructor? Why can't we just have fun and eat popsicles for dinner? Why do we have to sleep in the bed? Can't we just sleep on the floor where we fall? sigh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928337762462810525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-90454908151896620012013-06-14T18:53:23.728-04:002013-06-14T18:53:23.728-04:00Ahhhh that does sound hard, but I'm glad you h...Ahhhh that does sound hard, but I'm glad you had cupcakes.

Cupcakes for dinner is brilliant and sometimes necessary. Very necessary. I hate the times when I'm trying to get Tucker to say something and he just starts crying. Poor kiddos and this weird neurological stuff that makes them say cat on the third try!<br />I fully believe it's okay to be the mom. Boo is getting a TON of therapy outside of yours so cupcake number three makes sense. We are moms! And you are an awesome one. <br /><3Kristi Campbellhttp://www.findingninee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-75156603684975160632013-06-14T15:54:36.052-04:002013-06-14T15:54:36.052-04:00Wow, you have amazing awareness and such great per...Wow, you have amazing awareness and such great perspective. That is a really hard job, switching between the "mom" and "therapist" hats. I bet I would second guess myself all the time. I know one thing- you are a fantastic mom.

The teacher compared school and home like work and home. When we work, we come home and want nothing to do with "work". Perhaps she is thinking the same thing?<br />Us mom's are softies when it comes to giving in. And it should be like that :) (well within reason...if she's having a third cupcake, you better be having one too!)Kimberlyhttp://makemommygosomethingsomething.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-24321125799370237052013-06-14T13:02:34.930-04:002013-06-14T13:02:34.930-04:00Sometimes you have those weeks - sorry it's be...Sometimes you have those weeks - sorry it's been a tough one, Kerri. I know sometimes it's easier to give in to our kids instead of taking the tougher road in parenting, and I can only imagine the temptation is even greater with Boo. But mommies are allowed to give in sometimes, right?

Your love has to be so complete to handle what you do daily and still look for the lighter side. Perhaps, when she moves on to another word, her brain is simply saying, "Okay, I got that one. Here's what comes next!"

We do not do ABA here but there are moments when I am just so mad, angry, and frustrated that Sunny does not do what he is supposed to do although to me it seems to be the easiest thing ever (which it is not for him, I know that). It is just so difficult sometimes but I think it is also normal that we give in more often because, as you said, we are the moms and not the therapists. <br /><br />Hugging you for your stupid week! xoxoxoicansaymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13411395535212876876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-88654625455850941872013-06-14T08:43:48.848-04:002013-06-14T08:43:48.848-04:00It is hard to be humorous and honest! :-)It is hard to be humorous and honest! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601329296517304013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-59241389066695890152013-06-14T08:39:50.918-04:002013-06-14T08:39:50.918-04:00Can't even imagine.
