Letting your children play with toy weapons is a touchy subject these days, but it’s virtually unavoidable if you have a boy! ha ha! Like you, I was against it at first but then realized that is how boys play! I also had to explain to him about the rules of “gun-play” and it was something that he would have to play outside of a school setting. But, in the end, boys will be boys! ;)

My daughter’s famous for requesting bangs then pulling them back with rest of hair in to ponytail. So much for the great haircut, $$ for haircut, and she looks the same.
List is predictably true despite we aren’t given a manual in the Hospital at their birth.
GREAT ARTICLE, looking forward to a part 2 to this article!
Hope you have a joyous Holiday Season!

You had me at #1.

I cringe when I see parents fighting their kids, pushing them to eat ____ more bites. You’re so right, they will eat when they get hungry, they wont turn into a peanut butter sandwich, and it will all be just fine.

It is amazing how your thinking changes after you are married and have children. The one I have learned to unlearn is you must give your child ALL of the opportunities in life by participating in every activity there is.
