Change!

Ryan will be 4 on Monday!! I cant believe it! I love that girl so very much! My firstborn! Poor girl has put up with so much, but always tells me it is okay and she still loves me! She is a great big sister (most of the time! ha) and a great daughter! I think about her first year and how nervous I was as a new mom with every decision Scott and I made for her and how that still holds true each time she goes through a new phase of growing up. Lately Ive had trouble knowing when she is ready to do more and be more responsible. Ive come to the conclusion lately that we really need to teach her and allow her to do much more for herself and for us. She wants to but sometimes it is just easier to do it myself and less mess. But at the same time since I have 2 others pretty young it actually makes it harder. I would love to spend less time doing things for her and instead have her do them while I take care of the other two. She is ready and always asks so now is the time! Whew! Wish me luck!
