On to today's quote:
Successful parenting means: one, becoming what you should be. And two, staying close enough to the children for it to rub off. - Anne OrtlundIs it just me or is the first step the hardest?
My children are close to me (at least at this stage of their lives) all.the.time. I know these days pass quickly, and I will one day be looking back wistfully, but just for now I'd like to, oh, I don't know, wash my face and brush my teeth without a small person following me to the bathroom door.
Becoming what I should be? Yep, that's the hardest part for me.

Ooooh! A quote from one of my favorite authors of all time: Anne Ortlund!
Funny. My kids are a lot older than yours (which is as it should be since your kids are my grandkids) however "some" of my children are close to me all.the.time too. :)
I would like to be able to go into a bathroom without a canine following me. I'm lying on the bed now with the laptop. Pepper - who is also here - says "hi."
