Oh my goodness… how cute! You did a wonderful job on her! I can just visualize a whole tree full of these darling little pixie princesses.

Amen to everything you said. I’ve written a few times myself on variations on this theme. The best thing we can do sometimes is let our kids fail. Protecting them from failure only leads to a helpless child who has a false sense of his own strengths…and rue the day when the bubble bursts.

My Darlin’ Girl, you make me very proud. I have always been amazed by you but this Blam with your thoughts out there for the world to see makes me glow with pride and love for the woman and mother that you are. A way big “atta-my girl” and know your Momma loves you, you are my beloved child in whom I am well pleased.

I do not at all think that you are out of line here. My husband doesn’t even let our three-year old beat him in the “races” they have in the yard. My mother was nearly brought to tears over my husband’s “cruelty.” Our son used to cry every time he didn’t win. But, he doesn’t cry anymore. He tries harder. We didn’t tell him to do this, but he got there naturally. My husband has subscribed to the idea that one day when the kid really beats him, it will be the greatest victory of his life.

Love this one Amy! Hopefully, the majority of us, sick of this entitlement crap that is ruining today’s youth, can turn this around!!! Your daughter has an amazing mom!

There is a good chance people are being tortured near Ikea…it is a scary place and Matt always feels tortured when I make him go. And, next time you come to visit we should totally watch Hudson Hawk (no one appreciates it like a Lloyd).
