Vallerina 2 #1 September 29, 2004 When one of the two cutest little boys walks up to you and says, "I love you, Auntie V," how can you ever say, "No," to anything he asks for? When it's bed time, and he sticks his bottom lip out and gets tears in his eyes, how do you not let him watch television more? When they reach up for you to throw them up in the air, how can you say, "No, my arms are going to fall off?" I just can't do it! Every time I think I can put my foot down, they come and give me a kiss on the cheek!!! I'm such a wuss to my nephews.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airman1270 0 #11 September 29, 2004 ...how can you ever say, "No," to anything he asks for?... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, those things are so cute. I have three of them. I try to give a warning such as "You can watch this show, then we turn off the TV at 4:00..." Then I'll offer to ride bikes, play SORRY or "bouncy ball", etc. instead. Bedtime is bedtime, and they know it, but we can make it more pleasant by helping them get ready and cut some minor slack if they're mostly behaving well. For years before I had kids I listened to progams such as "Focus on the Family" and heard the advice of people who warned that the time goes by so fast, etc. Armed with this knowledge, raising kids has been a real blessing. I savored every stage and have few regrets. People who complain about the "terrible twos" don't know what they're missing. I love those years between 2-4. Then suddenly they begin to pronounce words correctly and turn into little people... My older kids are fast approaching the age when they won't want to spend much time with me, but no problem. We've had a good run so far. My youngest just turned 5. I changed diapers every day for nine years, then suddenly it stopped. I miss those poopies... Cheers, Jon S.

Then suddenly they begin to pronounce words correctly and turn into little people... I met my step son when he was 2 going on 35. One of the cutest things he would do was call my parachute a 'parent-chute'. That and stuffing a towel in his backback and jumping off the stairs. I now have a 3 month old little girl. She has me wrapped around her little finger. I melt when she coos. I can sit and stare at her for hours on end.

My favorite thing that he says now is when he eats it too fast. He tells me, as he's pressing his palm hard against his forehead, "Bain feeze Daddy"..."Bain feeze." So, when he recovers, I give him some more.
