Like build something. So, my daughter wanted to paint them and glue them onto an empty oatmeal container to make a drum. I thought it was so cute. UNTIL I went to school and there were huge park scenes, custom built houses, a carnival scene complete with a popsicle stick ferris wheel...my husband and I were so mad because no way could a 5 year old do these projects. It was the parents competing with eachother!! My daughter actually cried. I was emphatic to her that she did what she was supposed to do, think of a project ON HER OWN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-30566984787242083162008-09-04T20:11:00.000-05:002008-09-04T20:11:00.000-05:00ok, that is funny. and I can totally relate. don...ok, that is funny. and I can totally relate. don't give in! the polka dots are perfect :)wads and bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975146399330292377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-87562575122693096522008-09-04T09:28:00.000-05:002008-09-04T09:28:00.000-05:00I know exactly how you feel!

I hear you on the "mom competition" front. Its rather ridiculous, and really is it for their kids or is it for their self-gratification? Your bag was adorable! Do what you can, for your daughter and for God, and don't let what you can't do intimidate you. Look how you had a great weekend and didn't stress over "the bag" and probably others spent hours on it and grumbled the entire time! BTW I love your blog, found through Sarah's.

Keep it simple for her while she doesn't care, then work together on ballancing what is REALLY important later. She may notice things about the other bags she likes, but I seriously doubt she feels cheated. Just think, you are raising her to be a crown if she should marry, not a wife who would sink her husband into a pit of debt. You are a GREAT mom!Sarah M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07504580998498244803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-58740835963785685812008-09-03T09:20:00.001-05:002008-09-03T09:20:00.001-05:00ps Dax's backpack, totally bought on ebay by his N...ps Dax's backpack, totally bought on ebay by his Nana!Marci @Finding Joy in the Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058555009062113688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-70051435783490343462008-09-03T09:20:00.000-05:002008-09-03T09:20:00.000-05:00Happy first Day, Lily, looks like the preschool bu...Happy first Day, Lily, looks like the preschool bug is going around this week!Marci @Finding Joy in the Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058555009062113688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-24300480587417693352008-09-03T09:04:00.000-05:002008-09-03T09:04:00.000-05:00oh how i HATE the mom-petition. ugh! seriously.....oh how i HATE the mom-petition. ugh! seriously...why do we do that to others (and ourselves!).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057997192222912332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-73249165271047149752008-09-03T08:46:00.000-05:002008-09-03T08:46:00.000-05:00I have a little something for you on my blog today...I have a little something for you on my blog today (once I get it posted:)Sarah@Life in the Parsonagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129742817309651806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-26245192530561882032008-09-02T22:20:00.000-05:002008-09-02T22:20:00.000-05:00Suppose to be "Oh my goodness" :)Suppose to be "Oh my goodness" :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019435613698914513.post-20434055069611402802008-09-02T22:18:00.000-05:002008-09-02T22:18:00.000-05:00I my goodness- do I so relate.
