I hope it was fun. <BR/>Has Keziah had any teeth pop through with all this complaining of her's? She sound a lot like Isaiah with teething. Did Micah teeth like this?Trev and Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255645425453462189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-75874205289931559652008-01-22T10:28:00.000-08:002008-01-22T10:28:00.000-08:00I can actually remember doing the exact same thing...I can actually remember doing the exact same thing Micah's doing when I was younger. My mom used to bribe me with popsicles(it didn't always work) but I can't remember what I was so upset about. I think it was the whole mindset thing - I had made up my mind I didn't want to go to swimming lessons(i loved swimming otherwise) and that was it. I would encourage you to keep at it. I was never scared of the water even after my mom forced me and I loooove swimming now. Hopefully this will pass soon - praying for you Jamie.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367592937895721685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-87929210258201729932008-01-21T15:48:00.000-08:002008-01-21T15:48:00.000-08:00Hey James: Cute pics!!

But, you're right, there are always highlights, and I guess we just need to hang on to those moments to get us through.

I used to love takin Livvi in the stroller on the ice too, kept me up! lol As for the swimming lessons, my friend had the same struggles with all 3 of her kids, and she ended up pulling them out when they were that little, and re-registering them when they were 5, cause to her it just wasn't worth the battle and fear that it was causing...here's hoping both kiddo's give ya a rest this week! :) And as Laura said I double it, you are doing a GREAT job, you are NOT alone, and this too shall pass!!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558112068622052807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-47246954869673925732008-01-20T15:29:00.000-08:002008-01-20T15:29:00.000-08:00Hi Jamie, Man I feel your pain about the swimming ...Hi Jamie, <BR/>Man I feel your pain about the swimming and the grouchy kids. <BR/><BR/>I tried swimming lessons last summer and it didn't go well (the story sounds similar). I ended up just pulling our kids out because I didn't want them to hate the pool. I think it was Evy who told me that Bethany didn't like swimming when she was younger so she just waited and then when she was 5 or 6 she put her in and she loved it and did great. I may try that with Ana. (You can see one of my earlier posts on our blog about that!)<BR/><BR/>Zachary was a real crier compared to Ana and even though he is older now he still is way more grouchy than her. I don't always know what to do with him but at least the "crying" gets better with age. <BR/><BR/>Skating looked fun. I totally want to take our kids skating some time. I think they'd really like it. I wonder if my skates still fit...?Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351598594013934291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-50960580147553833592008-01-20T14:50:00.000-08:002008-01-20T14:50:00.000-08:00We have the same type of "battles" around here the...We have the same type of "battles" around here the last week in regards to skating lessons...I think once children get into a certain mindset about things it's really hard to get them off of it. Stick with it and I'm sure Micah will get adjusted! I know my biggest thing with Taylor right now is that I know if I give in to her and not take her to skating she will feel as though she has "beat me" and gotten what she wanted...she's fine as soon as she is off the ice also....it's very frustrating, I'll be praying for you! In regards to your comment on my post, I was the one who said the comment about getting together with your sister....I had mentioned it to her on her blog a while back, and it still hasn't happened, I should really try to connect with her though :-) I also understand about not having a vehicle, etc while you're here too...if you don't have time, it's totally fine! Also, very cool that you allowed you to bring your stroller on the ice, I am going to look into that here now!!! Hope this week goes better for you guys!(and for Keziah also!)-Me-https://www.blogger.com/profile/07663331530606755099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-60655646854786529382008-01-20T14:09:00.000-08:002008-01-20T14:09:00.000-08:00Sending you a BIG HUG!! :D Hope this next week is ...Sending you a BIG HUG!! :D Hope this next week is easier!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992186481746802978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-24484844724312269712008-01-20T04:10:00.000-08:002008-01-20T04:10:00.000-08:00when i was micah´s age i went to those swimming le...when i was micah´s age i went to those swimming lessons as well and i didn´t really have a good time....my mom was kind of frustrated, but after two weeks of crying and whining she decided to postpone the lessons and when i was 5 years old i did it again and since then i LOVED swimming more than anything else!<BR/>maybe that might work for micah as well? <BR/>i would just be afraid that my kid might start hating the pool, water, swimming......but micah seems to be happy in it, right?<BR/>hoping that you´re having a better week!<BR/>leslieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-9242507845507906432008-01-19T23:03:00.000-08:002008-01-19T23:03:00.000-08:00Just wanted to say, that I have SO been there. Yo...Just wanted to say, that I have SO been there. Your posts about frustrations with Keziah remind me so much of Autumn at that age - it's so challenging, and a week can seem like an eternity at times. To encourage you, you are doing a great job, you are not alone, and it WILL end. Autumn is turning out to be one sweet little girl - though she still has her moments! No advice on the swimming thing, you're doing exactly what I would try so ??? Praying it will be a better week for you!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576936152945840568noreply@blogger.com
