Great minds think alike (sometimes)


Parenting is difficult--no joke right? Well, I have found this week that parenting without communication is even more challenging. Sam and I have different parenting personalities. Since I am home with Caleb all day, and albeit not as laid back as Sam, I am often the one that dishes out the discipline. Now, don't get me wrong, Sam is awesome at handling behavioral situations when he is home, but honestly, Daddy is just more fun than I am. And I have become ok with that. However, there are times when we get our wires crossed, and confuse the poor kid. For example, the picture above was taken (with a little pride by mom) because it was the first time Caleb climbed into a chair. Yes, I know it's dangerous, and he doesn't do it now, but remember I am a first-time mom, who gets excited over first anythings . So, I took a picture. Later that day, Sam walks in, Caleb climbs in the chair, and an immediate scolding takes place...Oops!! Poor Caleb--we'll get it together one day son, hopefully before college.

Great updates! He is soooo cute and getting so big. What smart little fellow too! I know--so normal to worry about everything, I am VERY guilty of that. Hard not too, but I'm sure every mom does the 1st time!
