This week has been rough.

This week has been rough.  My week has been filled with tears.  Why?  Because my son cried for an hour and a half because he didn't want to sleep in his crib.  Parenting is hard.  It is hard to know what to do and how to do it.  If you are a Jr. High kid and are reading this write now, cut your parents some slack.  It is really hard.  But back to my kid crying.  It's wierd.  My kid will be sound asleep in my arms, but the second his sleepy body hits the bed, he becomes alive!!!  I mean immediately, while stilll asleep some how, he pops right up, stands up, and jumps up and down while screaming bloody murder.  I have no idea how he does it.  Usually we give in right away and pick him up.  But this teaches him that he can get what he wants.  This is not true in life.  We can't always have things the way we want them.  We often have to do hard difficult things.  We have work and school.  We have chores and duties.  All of which aren't always the most fun to do.  But we have to do them.  And my son has to sleep in his bed.  Now he just needs to learn to take naps in his bed, but that will be another tearfilled adventure.  PEACE
