My daughter is coming to grips that she doesn’t own the world. I’m certain being the only grandkid skews your view of the universe, but she now has competition.
And the competition is now heating up. Over the past couple weeks, our boy has realized that he can make a fuss for what is his. Or at least what’s in his hand that he wants to shove into his mouth against the wishes of those around him.
As parents, we freely give of ourselves to our children, but it’s so easy to spoil them. It’s an interesting balancing act, I’m certain we already have and we will screw up quite a bit along the way.
