Do you ever just feel lost as a parent?
At many times in the 4 years that I've been a parent, I have found myself fumbling over some aspect of childrearing. Eating issues, sleeping issues, health issues, etc. I know that every stage will have it's obstacles, but I've recently been really struggling over some of Little Chica's behaviors.
Namely, listening.
Or, rather, not listening.
Chica is a wonderful kid. I love her to pieces. She is boisterous and fun and intelligent and creative. Her imagination is absolutely amazing, riddled with tales of princesses and whales and dragons and beaches and mountains. I believe she will do great things some day.
Presently, though, I am having a heck of a time getting her to listen.
