Parenting Project

Once a month Grace and I hit Super Wal-Mart in Freeport. No Daddy and no Miles. So, of course when I asked her if she wanted to get a Gingerbread House or Tree to put together and decorate, her response was "Yes, me and Daddy can do it." = P Shows where Mommy rates! They had a great time, and they even let me make the frosting. Grace was so proud and loves to do special projects and take little trips with her Daddy. Regardless of the differing parenting styles, views on discipline, etc, you work through them and results are children that love the things that make Mommy different from Daddy and vice-versa. Bryan plays pretend so much better than I do, because I'm always distracted. (No big surprises there!) Personally I think I stay on task a bit better. Bedtime is done and over within 10 minutes for me, but Daddy tends to read, voices included, a bit more enthusiastically and animated at the end of the day. An extra book or two never hurt anyone, right! So, whether you see Bryan playing princesses or me guiding someone through getting ready for school, these kids are so much fun...and work. We try our best to take in all of the moments that could be taken for granted and stick them in our memory, and in as many cases as possible a picture file!
