I'm not one of those Moms that think my baby is perfect all the time. Take last night for example. We went out to dinner (this maybe happens once a week). The times Betsy is good at a restaurant we leave and say "Wow, she was easy tonight." Last night was not one of those times. She was whiny. I didn't get to eat much. She kept throwing things across the table (mostly at her Daddy). Finally I asked Ben to take her home while I paid the bill, got my food boxed and headed home.
On a different but similar note there are statements you DO and DON'T enjoying hearing about your child. Enjoyable: Betsy is walking everywhere! We may move her up a class because she's so advanced. She loves showing the other babies how to use the toys! NOT enjoyable: Betsy is getting better about not pushing over the other babies, and not sitting on them quite as often.
I can't even be mad at her. She sits on the other babies because she's running across the room, loses her balance and plops down and sometimes there happens to be a baby where she plops. And she's been beating up on her cousins for months. We're working on the 'be so gentle Betsy!' concept. I suspect she thinks babies are like furniture, good for pulling up on.
I guess I think my baby is perfect just the way she is but that doesn't mean she IS perfect if that makes sense.
