We have a *mean ole daddy* at our house too!
And what is it about a toddler's little cry when they *just don't get it*... it makes me sad and laugh all at the same time! What a cute little 3.5 year old you have!
oh girl...we have had this happen on several occasions too! I can totally picture carly crying and saying "why daddy do dis?
hope it works soon! way to go Bleonard!
What a good mama and daddy those girls have...you're doing the right thing even when it isn't easy. YEA! Still, I can't help but be heartbroken when I picture sweet Carly crying about it. Poor little precious...
I love that idea!
Hey, I love the idea... but alas, it would break my heart to do it. So I need to tell our "mean ol' daddy" to do it.
Be sure to post an update on how the "getting back" goes!
Wishing your girls good listening ears this weekend!
