She is just adorable and spunky. I love that.... God selected YOU to be her mama because YOU and only YOU had what it took to raise her. You have it all, my friend. xoxoNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00492280871460003185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204835852153030798.post-91302086716010759812010-03-17T10:11:39.455-07:002010-03-17T10:11:39.455-07:00My daughter's teachers always said she'd b...My daughter's teachers always said she'd be a great leader. Knows what she wants, isn't afraid to go after it and won't compromise her definition of right and wrong. Yea! Whoo hoo!!!<br /><br />It was still hard, very hard at times!!!!<br /><br />But, she'll be 21 in a few weeks and they were right!!! A jr. in college and well on her way to conquering the world! <br /><br />We get along great...as long as we don't have to live with each other for more than a few days!!!! But she's a wonderful young woman with drive and ambition and an incredible mind. <br /><br />Just don't give up on the tough parenting. Some days you just want to let them have free reign...it's exhausting to parent these strong willed children! But, God is so faithful and He's created them this way for His glory! Great and mighty things are waiting for you!!!!<br /><br />She'll be grown up and gone before you know it!!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758574207700283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204835852153030798.post-43614834373271177802010-03-16T21:01:29.040-07:002010-03-16T21:01:29.040-07:00I agree with you so much.

My son and I have been battling each other since his conception - and the war rages on. I try to focus on my goal for him - I want to raise him to be a good Christian man. Everything else is cake. It helps me pick my battles and stick to my guns when I'd rather throw my hands up and scream. I LOVE the way you've found the bright side - even in a "difficult" child. I'll try to remember that when the next battle arises!Warrior Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882390324145334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204835852153030798.post-69363984627809783282010-03-16T19:10:03.068-07:002010-03-16T19:10:03.068-07:00What a great post Summer.

BTW - he was like that as in infant too...... sound asleep - eating - or screaming! But she is SO CUTE. I tell mine everyday that he is LUCKY that he is CUTE :D It makes it hard to stay mad for long. Way to look on the BRIGHT SIDE (HA) I need to do that a little more often.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389035252779800439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204835852153030798.post-68238282599844868652010-03-16T16:53:32.870-07:002010-03-16T16:53:32.870-07:00Love this post.

I look back and say "what the heck did I do wrong" ;)<br />I like to think of strong willed children as those with an abundance of character ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04806272718097643265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204835852153030798.post-11429107508176239532010-03-16T15:13:13.791-07:002010-03-16T15:13:13.791-07:00"My husband and I point out babies who are aw..."My husband and I point out babies who are awake and not crying.
