A few things to reflect back on: 1. I can't even imagine what kind of teenager Farah is going to be when she seems to have PMS at age 5. Eye rolling and major mood swings are just par for the course these days. Blake has been so sweet to her, and it breaks my heart to see her be so mean to him. Of course, she does mother him too (sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's not). I hope I don't sound half as mean as she does when she's "discipling Blake."
2. I wonder how long Blake's "good spell" will last? He's been such a sweet heart lately. Last night he beat me to the punch at bedtime, saying, "Sweet dreams, Mom. I love you." Tonight he told me he wanted to tell me something in my ear, and then he whispered, "You're a good mom."
3. Lenah is the first of the three children at this age (just turned 1) who takes Goodnight Moon from my hands and turns the pages and insists on going back to the page she wants to see again or skip forward. I have no control over what page we're reading when. And if I try to read a different book, she finds Goodnight Moon in her crib and insists on reading that one. Strong willed?
4. Will I ever be able to ride my bike around the neighborhood? I got a bike with my Christmas money from my mother-in-law. I got a mountain bike, which I'm now thinking may not have been the best idea. I'm having a heck of a time just getting around my neighborhood. I know I'm not in peak physical condition, but I remember bike riding as being easy! Now my thighs are burning and if it wasn't for my pride, I think I'd push it home. One problem is I have no idea what gear to be in when (I guess I could read the owner's manual), two I bought an off road bike and I live in a subdivision, and three, I haven't ridden a bike in twenty years.
