On Parenting.
Whenever one of our kids has an "issue" Josh and I usually get together after they go to bed and talk about what to do. Usually the resolve is figuring out how we can do better as parents. Usually, what the problem child needs is more love/attention/one-on-one time OR more limits. With her, We are trying the first, first--she deserves at least 1/3 of the attention right? Josh and I concluded that we weren't living in reality just thinking that someday Breanna will just wake up talking, it's going to take ALOT of hard work. TIme for us to work harder and be better parents. Time for more routine in our life. This morning Josh got up with her and involved her 1:1 in all the morning chores---making breakfast, feeding the dog, etc.... hopefully her cup was full with that today and things will get better. I'm so glad that we can see parenting as a team approach and that one of us doesn't always have all the answers. I'm so glad we can let some things go to be mindful of what they need. And that, well, it fills my cup:)

Don't know how I would have survived without the "team approach" to parenting. It's great to bounce ideas off someone who has an intimate roll in what goes on in the household.
