Parenting is new for me. I like to jump right in so I currently am caring for two Jr. High aged children. They are a joy to be around. Here are some lessons I have already learned:
1. Bed time is never easy!
2. Siblings will argue ALL THE TIME!
3. It is the small thank you's that mean a lot.
4. They will always try to talk you out of what they do not want to do.
5. Silence is AMAZING!
6. There are no early bedtimes for the "Parent".
7. If practice starts at 6, you will be there for at least 2 hours. Plan dinner wisely.
8. Having a plan of what to cook for the whole week is GREAT! No one ever ask, what's for dinner and I always know what to cook when I get home.
9. Even as teenagers, they have a secret desire to learn. I don't even believe they realize this ;)
10. I love hearing laughter coming from their room.
I know there is so much more, but right now I am just tired. I will take all the advice I can get on this new adventure God has put me in.
