I couldn’t resist one more.? :)??? We had big ideas with that balloon but the area we were in didn’t give us enough of an open landscape to use it the way we wanted to.? I love this capture though.? Looks dreamy to me – expectant wouldn’t you say?.? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

**************************<\/p>\n

This afternoon I had a very validating parenting moment.? For quite some time I have been trying to use the word “choice” frequently with my children.? I am striving to ingrain into their little hearts that life has many options for them but that all choices are not equal.?? Tanner is not a boundary pusher so he is likely to weigh consequence out of fear inspired control issues (just like his mama).?? Ty is the ying to Tanner’s yang in nearly every way.? Yesterday I told him he couldn’t do something and in a sweet little voice he said “what will you do if I do it?”.? I smiled – got real close to his little face – and said “want to try me and see?”? He opted not to open pandora’s box.? Good decision.? The fact that he was even considering it though tells me that he and Tanner are polar opposites and that my middle child is bound and determined to give me a run for my money (cute as he is).<\/p>\n

Today I asked Ty to pick up all the GI Joe guys that had been scattered across my bedroom floor.?? “MOOOOOMMMMMYYYYYY…that is going to take FOOOOOORRRRREEEEVVVEEER!”? You should know – that is Tanner’s line and Ty was giving it a shot.? Before I could say a word, Tanner steps up to bat and calmly says “Yes Ty.? That will take forever.? If that is your choice.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woooohooooo!!!!!!? I have been giving that line (or a rendition of it) to Tanner for “fooooorrreeeeevvveeerrr” and to hear him pay it forward made me feel all warm and giddy inside.? Aaahhhhhh – that was a moment to revel in.?? Without saying a word, Ty picked up the rest of the GI Joe’s.? SWEEEEEEETTTT!<\/p>\n

P.S.? My right arm is itching me like crazy.? I told Jim it is reminiscent of PUPPS.? What in the world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
