Being a par...I was just thinking about this today. Being a parent tends to make us more aware of our weaknesses. As you say...those "ugly" moments can catch us by surprise sometimes. Thank goodness children are so forgiving. <br /><br />I really appreciated what you said about Leah. The last couple of years with my little Olivia have been blissful. She has always been my little sweetie pie. Lately, however, she seems to be half gremlin. I have been wondering what in the world happened. Your post reminded me that as kids start to grow up and be more independent, they exercise their rights differently. Maybe I just need to step back and think of a new strategy. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the great update. Your kids are so darling!kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986698622069917383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-42877660165653799782013-04-10T13:38:09.347-07:002013-04-10T13:38:09.347-07:00Such cute kids!!!

I haven't taken them to a specialist and have been debating whether to. Maybe it's just in the Steadman genes! You have an adorable family!!!Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784278375173371981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-14845575795238895722013-04-10T10:30:56.750-07:002013-04-10T10:30:56.750-07:00Here I am, staring at this comment box. I used to...Here I am, staring at this comment box. I used to be an awesome comment-gal, just like I used to be an awesome blogger. I don't know what happened to me. <br /><br />Do I comment just to comment? I was going to say something like, "Awww, such beautiful little beings." Which is all completely true and which I totally thought, especially with that supremely adorable picture of June in her fairy dress with the striped leggings...<br /><br />But somehow, true as it is, it still feels as empty as my attempts at blogging. And so, in an effort to not feel like an empty comment, I blather on and on about who knows what, but at least you know some of my thoughts and it's not just a comment for the sake of a comment. <br /><br />I love you. <br /><br />(maybe it's the endless sorting of receipts that's making me so wacky. Or maybe it's just my deep and driving need to live from a place of authenticity and my pendulum is swinging hard and fast this way and that. I didn't mean to make this comment a blog post, but I think maybe it is.)ClancyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013193697535163509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-39879511126847604942013-04-05T21:26:19.187-07:002013-04-05T21:26:19.187-07:00Oh, man, I love your kids.

They are incredible - just like their mama and daddy. Sure do love you Staders.Rachel Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134114200954366774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-37579065592194728202013-04-05T12:25:11.701-07:002013-04-05T12:25:11.701-07:00Such a sweet video and post.

What your children have will be a blessing in their lives. And yea for video cameras! What treasures you will always have! Even the "slight" croch grab! So funny!Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921262249599906975noreply@blogger.com
