Parenting Success Moments

mcvgal

Inspired by the Big Toddler Thread. I know we may feel bad at times or get frustrated about how we handle a situation with toddlers, older kids, and probably even our newborns. I know that we are good moms just trying to make it. So instead of feeling bad about "x" situation, how about you share a moment where you felt success. Remind yourself that you really do have a handle on this.

I have been reading the same book at night to DS2 for the last week. It's Llama Llama Wakey Wake. He's gotten to the point where he can "read" most of it by memory. Which is great in itself because he is a little delayed in his speech. But my parenting success came this morning. Both boys really drag their feet getting ready in the morning, but today after getting dressed, DS2 said "brush teeth". He is not a fan of brushing his teeth but I think he remembered this week's book.  I was very proud that he decided on his own to brush his teeth AND that he actually said the words.

I can't think of any right now other than every time I take ds1 to the library he tells any child that comes near him "no pushing!". He says it very seriously and it makes me laugh. If only he would listen to more things I say...

DD is potty training and she told me she had to go poop and actually held it and went in the potty for the first time! Proud mama over here!
