Have a New Kid by Friday - Dr Kevin Leman

Shortly after Christmas,

some mates and I were chatting

about our angels,

and how they aren't always angels.

A couple mates mentioned 

having read Dr Kevin Leman's book

Have a New Kid by Friday.

And since Ethan and I battle

often,

I thought I'd check it out.

For the most part

this book makes sense.

It's fairly common knowledge

just stuff I'm not good at following through with.

You know,

saying things only once,

following through with consequences,

not getting angry.

Will it change Ethan in 5 days?

Not sure.

But it was a great reminder

that I'm a good mum

and Ethan is a good kid.

I just spoil him a bit too much.

So...

I'm learning.

Not to get angry.

To say things once.

To follow through with what I say.

To give him more independance.

And to remind him

how much I love and

respect him.
