Exhibit A:
She absolutely loves to play with the blinds on the kitchen door. And the first time I caught her, I immediately ran over to teach her that she cannot play with them. So, she stopped. And three minutes later, she was at it again! And I ran over to her again, and she stopped. And the cycle continued for a couple more times until.....I realized that one day I'm going to miss little things like this! Sure, in a perfect world, we'd all have Pinterest-worthy homes. But this is her home too, so why not let her explore it and get to know it better? As long as she's being supervised, I am okay with it. I have yet to replace the blinds. And hey, it's a great conversation starter when we have guests over!
Discipline is so hard with a smile like this! |
Your little one is too precious! I agree, it is so hard to discipline them when they are oh-so-cute!!! You stopped by my blog recently. I tried to comment back but realized you're a "no-reply comment" blogger. Here's a link with more info...http://anyonecandecorate.blogspot.com/2012/09/are-you-no-reply-blogger-how-to-fix.html

Thank you so much for visiting! Now that you mention it, I've noticed a few issues with comments on my blog. I will definitely check out your post! That was so nice of you. Happy blogging :)
ReplyDeleteOnce Mia became mobile and I realized I had to start teaching her what she could and could not get into, it broke my hearrrrrrrt! I HATED telling her no and having to use a very stern voice, especially because I felt like she couldn't understand me and she just thought I was being a mean mom! But she learned quickly (thank goodness for my momma heart!) It's such a fun stage to watch them crawl but oh so hard on us to discipline!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad a lot of us mommies share many of the same feelings! We can be so hard on ourselves. I am so happy you stopped by. I'm on your way to your blog right now :)
