I am not a chew toy, nor am I a chalkboard

Um, excuse me, if you need to look at something, can you let go first? And, if you are frustrated, can you consider biting something else??? I know you are just a baby, but dont you think after the millionth time that I squeal and jab you in the ribs that you could start to associate that what you are doing is totally inappropriate?

If you haven't figured it out yet, Brielle has decided that I am her chew toy. Let's just say that I don't think that part of my body is supposed to stretch that far. And to top it off, she runs her nails down my skin like a chalkboard.

The crazy thing is, is that when I get after her she looks at me and smiles the biggest gummy grin and I just love her for it.

I'm amazed at how much abuse I can take and they still melt my heart. I almost try to lose my temper just because being crazy just feels good some times, but God is showing me that I'm not as intense as I thought I was. I'm actually so in love with my kids that my anger can turn into laughter and my temper is fighting to exist. If I am tired or sick and run down, the temper lives; otherwise, I think my kids might have it pretty good. :)
