I realize that all my posts are about Gracie. Mostly because she is new to us, as we are to her, but also because we are experiencing new things that we have never been through before. However, there are times when I feel that the 8 year old is more of a challenge than the 2 year old WITH all her concerns. She was so polite when she was 2. She would say "Please, may I have that?" She would listen. Not anymore.
Why do they grow up so fast? She was just a little girl last summer. Now she's a young lady ( I use that term loosely.) I keep telling her that her room reminds me of a pig sty. "What's that, mom?" Where pigs eat. .....(crickets).... NO RESPONSE. The only way I can get her to clean the pig sty is to threaten to cancel any playdates till she goes to college.
Yes , I know, I have another one that will probably be the same way in 6 years but I cherish the innocent time while I can.
Seriously, I have been blessed many times over and I will enjoy everyday of the journey as mom to two girls from China.
