Reminder to self

Reminder to self: As much as Matt and I feel that we are on the steepest learning curve of a lifetime with Victoria. She is on a very steep one also. She is learning how to be a big sister to Micah. She has no idea what to do with him, but is still doing simply amazing. She is learning how to be part of a family. The size of her household doubled when she moved here. When she asks me something, most of the time she will also ask Matt the EXACT same question. She is trying to learn that whatever one of us says goes for both of us, and she is learning that it makes us CRAZY when she asks both of us. Unfortunately/fortunately for her (depending on who you ask), she has gone from a single parent household where mom is very busy and preoccupied, to a house where stepmom is home when she gets home and is very involved in every aspect of her day.

As each day passes we are all getting used to and learning our new and ever changing roles. My prayer is that I remember her side and cut her a little slack. :)

Katie and Matt, you both have a whole lot of love to give Victoria. She has not seen that in her life. It will take time for her to understand everything going on. Keep in mind that all kids play one parent against the other. I did it growing up and you unconsciously probably did also. It seems to be a form of growing up and getting trust in one or the other parent. You are and will be for a long time, the best family for Victoria. Just ask your Mom then ask your Dad, ha.ha.ha Take care and keep smiling.
