You don't have to tell me how long it's been since I have posted anything on this blog...I am well aware that two months have gone by with not a word from The Davis Family. For that, I apologize.So, since Christmas, we have been busy. Brooke is growing and changing, and she still amazes me daily. My heart just swells with love and pride when I look at her--I still cannot believe what a sweet miracle she is...
As we near her 2nd birthday, a little attitude is emerging, and I can see that the so-called "terrible twos" will not be bypassing our little darling. She is not above throwing herself on the ground at a moment's notice, when and if she does not get her way. I handle this as any good mother would, by laughing...
You see, I am determined to not let this tiny little person get the best of me. I am determined to always be the adult in the situation, and to try and appreciate this new stage of independence and strong willed behavior, as one of the many wonderful, albeit, trying stages of our precious daughter's life. After all, I want her to be strong willed. I want her to stand her ground and stick to her guns. I want her to form opinions and decide what's for her, and what is not. I want her to be outgoing and persevering...not taking no for an answer...at least I think I do. Right?
So, as I was saying... I am going to embrace the terrible twos, taking advantage of teachable moments and the humor in every situation, all the while showing her the understanding, patience, and unconditional love that our Father in heaven shows us all, each and every day.
We will just say that somedays are better than others and leave it at that...
One of the many joys of living in Texas is spring time,when all of the GORGEOUS bluebonnets start to bloom, and you can take your kids, and plop them down in a field of flowers, on a nice day, and try and try to get the perfect Texas Bluebonnet picture! My first attempt at doing so this season, was on Friday April 1st. We ventured out to Creekside Park in the Woodlands, with some of our very favorite church friends, and took lots of pictures in the flowers. Brooke did not exactly enjoy it (I cannot imagine why), but she eventually cooperated, somewhat. As much as Brooke would hope otherwise, this will not be last photo session in the bluebonnets for this season. Although the bluebonnets in the Woodlands were nice, EVERYONE knows that the BEST Texas bluebonnets are in Washington County...and very soon we will head out to Chappel Hill for Bluebonnet pics, Round 2!
