Yes, it's frustrating, but that's just life with a toddler,I guess. :)<br /><br />AudreyO,<br />Thanks for coming by. You're right about the nostalgia thing. I feel it with my boys all the time.<br /><br />MommyWise,<br />Welcome! Let's hope that seeing things through their eyes will keep us young. I know I smiled a lot more when I decided to give in a play a little. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"<br /><br />Laurie (Playground Observer),<br />Oh, don't get me started on walks! We can spend 30 minutes just getting from here to the corner! The upside is that she notices things that I would just breeze by. Sometimes, especially on a nature hike, for instance, that can lead to some pretty awesome discoveries.<br /><br />Have a great day, everyone!<br />- JuliaMidwest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095161837187839812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584545306338199398.post-73045157377963840682009-05-14T04:59:00.000-07:002009-05-14T04:59:00.000-07:00This is both a funny and sweet story.

Yes, this ...Frickles- I'm still laughing about it.<br /><br />Yes, this is THE hardest adjustment I have made to having a child... operating on his schedule and not mine. The best days are ones where we have no schedule and we can just operate on toddler time. The worst are ones where we have appointments, meet-ups, and chores to accomplish because I want to move at top speed and he resists.<br /><br />I'm glad that today you were able to let go and have a fun soccer game, but as I tell my husband, it can't always be like that or NOTHING would get done and that is the root of the frustration.<br /><br />-Abby@sweetbabboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414489876832313768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584545306338199398.post-30539208542631625502009-05-13T13:46:00.000-07:002009-05-13T13:46:00.000-07:00Firefly,

I hope our relationship remains close as she grows.<br /><br />Sinjan, <br />That's a good way of looking at it. She is engaging! Thanks for the visit!<br /><br />Green Girl,<br />It's so funny, now that my boys are more self-sufficient, I feel like I have toddler-raising amnesia! Yesterday was a fun way to get perspective.<br /><br />Suzen,<br />You're right -- that kind of gratitude goes a long way when you're a Mom. ;D<br /><br />- JuliaMidwest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095161837187839812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584545306338199398.post-67363063988398295282009-05-13T09:00:00.000-07:002009-05-13T09:00:00.000-07:00Wonderful post - your writing has a warm and cozy ...Wonderful post - your writing has a warm and cozy flow to it! As for toddlers, they are exhausting, and this too, shall pass.
