When my little ones are wanting to be held, I remember those few days when I yearned to hold Hudson and couldn't until after he was with Jesus. Last week, Emie was throwing up for hours and I was able to hold her in my arms for 12 hours or so and wondered if it would be the last time I would hold her that long since she's growing up so quickly and soon won't want me to hold her even when sick. Thank you for posting this...it encouraged my heart towards tenderness because so often, I make them "buck up!" and this softened my heart (in a good way!)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936391188949333212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637630471031731515.post-38372172067255439872010-01-12T00:39:14.575-05:002010-01-12T00:39:14.575-05:00Mandy,

You are a wonderful mom, and you're doing just the right thing. She does need that extra moments, and how could you not give it to her? I am that way with my kids. I don't think I'm a push-over mom. They get disciplined but they also need that special touch. That's what mommy's are for! Keep it up, girl!<br />NatashaNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18179832331036846892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637630471031731515.post-15309176097602346382010-01-10T19:50:23.763-05:002010-01-10T19:50:23.763-05:00So sweet.

As long as you discipline them, they won't get spoiled...they just know you love them!

I was all ready to do it this afternoon and all the way home from my night out with Ryan, I've been struggling. I am dreading it. Your post sums up exactly WHY I am dreading it. I hadn't been able to put it into words, but you did. She deserves a little bit extra... a little bit longer. However, it's not going to get easier the longer I wait. It will probably get harder. So, tomorrow, they will probably go and I will definitely cry right along with her.Faith M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17885919873742151787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637630471031731515.post-83177555937944688502010-01-08T21:48:12.156-05:002010-01-08T21:48:12.156-05:00Well, I can tell you this, girl- you're not al...Well, I can tell you this, girl- you're not alone. Knowing i my head that I need to keep the same standards for all my little ones, my heart tends to soften when it comes to Jack. There have been nights that I've thought, as I walk with Jack in my arms from his room to mine, that I need to let him cry it out and he needs to learn.....and then I think of all the time he has spent crying, not able to be comforted by my arms, and I scoop him up and head to my bed.<br />I think of it like this, though-- at the end of my life, when I look back over time, loving my child one minute longer and holding him close instead of leaving him be will NOT be one of my regrets.shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573694669935438019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637630471031731515.post-14176098306136362632010-01-08T21:29:54.503-05:002010-01-08T21:29:54.503-05:00Aw... what a good mom! hope you had some fun! like...Aw... what a good mom! hope you had some fun! like you said someday!tricitytyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099962069168516375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637630471031731515.post-9483901654009700902010-01-08T21:00:03.676-05:002010-01-08T21:00:03.676-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
