one of the perks to having older siblings is that there is almost no subject that either they or their spouses have some real life experience earned wisdom on. I was recently talking child rearing with Page, my sister-in-law and mother of my niece and nephew.... very well behaved niece and nephew I might add, and she said something very wise.
She said....
Children spend all day long asking you two questions...
"Do you love me?" and "Am I in charge?"
That makes so much since. As I thought about it I could put everything Reagan does in a day into one of the two question categories.
I feel like on any given day in answer to Reagan's questioning actions my response is.... YES!!!!! no baby... Ohhh yes.... no sweet pea... Yes ma'am... No punkin.... yes yes yes.... no no no..
Today however went a little something like this....
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!
