Back to the basics
Now that I am all better (praise God!) I suppose I can no longer realistically put off the inevitable. I must get serious about potty training Lily. This will require much patience on my part since she is especially independent. She can do it, I am sure, but only does when SHE feels like it. I am rely trying to refrain from saying things out of anger or frustration that I cannot take back and I know I will regret later. My children know I love them, but because they know I care, I think it hurts them even more when my words are unnecessarily unkind. Please pray I will be firm yet loving and that Lily will see success very quickly in this next growing challenge. Thank you all for caring about even something as 'yucky" as this. Love y'all!

Oh those headstrong ones. But what a treasure to have once they reach high school with all that peer pressure. So I'd say just praise God for that little strong head!
Hey, I've been there and done that with an "independent, quietly strong-willed" little girl. It's no picnic, for sure. Praying you both are successful!
It encourages me to hear that from another mom. My frustration spills over on my son and wounds him. I hate that. Parenting is harder than I ever imagined. Praying for you and Lily.
In our stage of life, the little challenges are the biggest ones. They do learn eventually! Thank you for sharing your life, ups and downs.
