Wanting to do the right thing with Tyler instead of going off of your emotions proves it.<BR/>Sounds like you guys also had a great time that week.Stacie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051678048016361465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817390138588644183.post-38509745329622086542009-04-11T10:02:00.000-07:002009-04-11T10:02:00.000-07:00The way you handled the situation proves you are a...The way you handled the situation proves you are a fantastic mom! I love the pictures too, Kylie's expression in the last one is hillarious! I also wouldn't worry about the make-up thing, most little boys I know who have sisters who get their nails painted or get to play with make-up really want to too, I am sure he will grow out of it before long.

Your family is ...First, I love your cute pictures. Your family is truly photogenic. It is hardly fair, because ALL of you are! <BR/><BR/>I agree with the comments that came before. It is very likely that Tyler didn't mean to kill the bird. He couldn't understand how fragile a baby bird really is. That's what I think anyway. <BR/><BR/>I think you are a great mom!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225240477928502662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817390138588644183.post-72353396434211482002009-04-08T00:16:00.000-07:002009-04-08T00:16:00.000-07:00Girl, I have missed my blogging buddies lately. I ...Girl, I have missed my blogging buddies lately. I feel out of the loop, it has been more than 3 weeks since I have been able to read everybody's. And what can I say, you had me laughing out loud! I love reading what you write. <BR/><BR/>I am glad that I am not the only one who has the thoughts you had. No, my son has not killed a bird, but has done lots of things comparable in my eyes and I have wondered, "seriously, is he devilish?" too. So I do laugh, because I really think boys are boys and just as when they are older, sometimes they just don't think or even have a reason!!<BR/><BR/>You are a great mom though and I know that they will all turn out fine. Now about the nails and make-up...TAMMY CLARIDGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976079480180929510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817390138588644183.post-86683189362465562009-04-07T21:30:00.000-07:002009-04-07T21:30:00.000-07:00I agree, you're not a bad mom at all, and your kid...I agree, you're not a bad mom at all, and your kids aren't weird or evil. I think the way you handled the bird situation was perfect. Who knows what exactly happened with the bird but I'm willing to bet he just didn't realize what he was doing. I seriously doubt there was any malice involved. His older siblings probably reacted in such a way that he realized he did something wrong, thus the reaction to hide and blame. The way you taught him what he needed to know was great. And this didn't happen because of some neglect on your part (LOL about lesson #13), so just put that right out of your mind. Things happen, kids do things. It's all okay. You're there to teach them, not to keep them from ever making a mistake or doing anything wrong. <BR/><BR/>That said, I can sympathize with feeling like a bad mom, all too well. But those feelings come from fears and insecurities within ourselves. It's not really based on reality. You're a great mom Kimmy. You really are. You just need to give yourself permission to feel it and believe it.Cook Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07092477405397937089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817390138588644183.post-18766644270196787792009-04-06T15:23:00.000-07:002009-04-06T15:23:00.000-07:00You're not a bad mom.1.

Seriously! You can't be The Joker without a little red on your lips. And I've known LOTS of little boys who have their nails painted. It is tres chic! ;)<BR/><BR/>2. I wonder how Tyler killed the bird. If it was an accident or what. Because those little birds are super fragile and if Tyler picked it up to try and throw it back up to its nest (encouraging it to fly) well, that would have pretty bad results. So don't think he's evil. Little boys are super curious and don't always think through the consquences of their actions.<BR/><BR/>3. I want directions to the park you found. It looks wonderful!Sarah Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420097146485393526noreply@blogger.com
