I'm Back!

Yes I did have Alayna and dropped off the face of blogosphere. I think it's time I get back to blogging. Alayna is now very close to 4 months old and I've spent the last 3 weeks "loving" on her. My other 2 children are away spending some time with their grandparents in Ft. Lauderdale. I miss them terribly now and cannot wait until we are reunited this weekend.
While they are away, my husband and I took on some home improvement projects. We also had several "date" nights. Most of the "dates" Alayna accompanied us but we still enjoyed ourselves. It's amazing how much more we go out with one child now that we have 3 children than when we only had our first child. I guess you could say that we are older and wiser--yes definitely wiser.

As a parent, you realize that everyday is a learning experience. You can learn so much from your children. You learn so much from your day-to-day activities. One thing you must always allow is room for error. As humans we all make mistakes and it is important that your children are aware of this. It's hard to teach children this if you are constantly hard on yourself for making a mistake. Children will notice this. My oldest daughter is so self-motivated that she tends to beat herself up when she makes a mistake. I hate knowing that she puts so much pressure on herself. I try to talk to her about this but I know within myself that it's because I am also a perfectionist and she sees this. So, I constantly have to show her by my actions that I make mistakes as well. It's a hard lesson for children but maybe even harder for parents like myself.
My upcoming posts will be about some of the lessons I've learned as a mother. Yeah, yeah, i know...I have 3 children now so I think I'm a pro. You don't have to take my advices. I'm just going to share my honest opinion about some of what I've learned over these years since I've become a Mom.
