Sit and Spin

[u-turn]

Hey Heavy - I agree with Cali - don't change - you are on the right path.

I get being overwhelmed with the kids and second guessing whether it is all possible. It is all possible.

My thoughts (others may disagree), but
I feel like as parents, sometimes we overcompensate with the shear amount of activities when sometimes all that is needed is love. Please try to enjoy down time with them too and teach them to value and enjoy downtime. Not necessarily lazy nothing time, but loving down time. (though lazy nothing time can be a joy too). When they learn the value in that it is sometimes therapeutic for everyone. It seems that kids that do not value downtime crave constant attention, constant entertainment, and instant gratification.
just my thoughts

You are doing great - I sometimes feel that I should give up and give W everything she wants - it would just be simpler - but then Bahhhhhh why would I want that?
