I had four children fairly close in age and they kept me so busy! My eldest son was a climber and an 'adventurer' at night. I found him on top of the refrigerator one night, so we had to take all the furniture out of his room except his mattress and replaced his bedroom door with a screen door and sturdy latch. He was free to play, but was safe. He now has a son of his own (5 mos.) and my husband and I smile to ourselves.....blessings, KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-71374950262679570492015-10-15T11:10:32.530-04:002015-10-15T11:10:32.530-04:00I've had active and unruly toddlers and I love...I've had active and unruly toddlers and I love the active ones....the unruliness must not be grinned and given a wink and a nod. Each child responds to discipline differently and different disciplines help. I am not for spanking for every occurrence but a child must learn that when Momma says something, she means for it to be obeyed. I work around their preferences and their personalities but willful disobedience and no firm instruction will bring forth a child with a lack of respect for authority and a lack of respect for Momma's words and thereby create a teenager who, through just the sheer BEING of a teenager already struggles with authority, will question, interject and argue instructions as well. No sir, you better nip that in the bud. It's a life long process to control our own rebellious natures and cannot be conquered without the Holy Spirit's firm Hand and we need to be that firm hand until our children can develop the character and relationship with the Holy Spirit themselves to get them through this life.<br /><br />RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-58072753703641117282015-10-14T09:02:48.343-04:002015-10-14T09:02:48.343-04:00Toddlers with that disposition are so challenging!...Toddlers with that disposition are so challenging! They exhaust the mother so much that she needs a nap, but he is not likely to give her that. I think this is where the phrase "the years are so short but the days are so long" was born of! They are awfully adorable, though. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975142210467186932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-81071195545010587782015-10-14T02:53:48.364-04:002015-10-14T02:53:48.364-04:00I prayed for 25 years, 2 months and 8 days for a b...I prayed for 25 years, 2 months and 8 days for a baby. God blessed us with a precious new born boy in our old age:) But in His mercy He gave us a little man who was not, nor is now adverturous and a risk taker. But this post did remind me of one precious time when he was very little. He had grown enough and learned how to unlock the front door so we put a chain lock on it for added security. One afternoon I came down the stairs to see him standing on a kitchen chair, that he had pushed quite a ways I might add, and unlocking the chain lock! Oh such wonderful memories!
