2. I've started a few commitments to programs or events that have nothing to do with my kids. In fact, my kids would rather I wasn't committed to them. It feels good actually. As much as I love and adore my kids, I need to regain some parts of me that don't revolve around them. It's a bit of a challenge to figure out how to balance it all, but it's a good thing.
3. My son drives me crazy sometimes because he's a miniature me in personality. I'm a planner and I passed it on to him. I find ourselves arguing about what's going to happen in 5 minutes or when we get home. Crazy! I've started saying, let's just enjoy right now and we'll talk about what's next when it's time for that. My habit of preparing him for what's next by telling him in advance has created a bit of a planning monster. Good thing there's still time for his dad to fix him =)
4. My daughter is so unpredicatable on the other hand. At this age I knew what Ryan's favorite foods were that he would always eat. Molly on the other hand will LOVE eggs one day and spit them out and throw them on the floor the next. She's always looking around at meal times to see what else is on the table so she doesn't miss out. She's much more spontaneous like her dad and likes to "mix it up".
5. We are taking lots of family bike rides and we all LOVE it! I told Molly today we were going on a bike ride and she crawled to the bike and pointed at her helmet. She also signs, "Go, go, go" when we're getting ready to take off. Such great exercise that I truly enjoy, and out kids are a part of it too.
Random thoughts anyone?

Okay I just did a Random Thoughts post. And I completely agree with you on #3. I love Morgandy but we do conflict a lot because we are so much alike. And sometimes I see traits in her that I don't like about myself. I wonder if I change those things about me it will change them about her?
I can relate to you. Payce is very much like Zach and myself in that he likes doing things a certain way. I get frustrated when we are in a hurry or don't have the time to do things the way we normall would. I find myself contridicting what we have taught him. For example, we are trying to leave the house for an appointment and he is crying because I didn't let him finish putting up his train set, instead I threw it in the box unorganized. I love that he likes to be organized and neat but at the same time, it makes being flexible difficult.
