I absolutely LOVE being a mom, don't get me wrong, but discipline is not easy! Yesterday I had to take Cheyenne's phone away for 2 days. You would have thought in all honesty the world itself was coming to an end! The tears were flowing, the pleading on her knees was out... Full drama from the drama queen herself! It was sadly pathetic... Short story is, she has been warned all week about being disrespectful and having a poor attitude... It is so hard because she is just never bad, we rarely ever have to discipline her more than a time out or something... So when I had to ground her it was painful. She apologized perfusely and just didn't understand why she had to be in trouble... So after much explanation she understood and got over it! (Thank God, it could have been a long 2 days otherwise)
Anyway~ She really is a good girl and I love her to death! God definitely knew what he was doing by giving me the perfect baby, toddler, and mature child first. She helps me quite a bit with Hadley and has become pretty responsible especially for a 9 yr old. (I can't expect much more)
A little more about Cheyenne.... She loves school especially reading. She tested out of Elementary reading 2 years ago. She got above average on all of her TCAP scores last year... She pretty much has been teachers pet since she started school.... Cheyenne also loves animals. She has a gerbil, a rabbit, and takes care of both cats.... she is now convincing me she needs her own fish and since ours just died tonight she will probably get her way! Some of the reasons we butt heads... she isn't very confident in herself, she loves making excuses, she isn't very organized and can be lazy. Reasons she butts heads with her dad: because they are exactly the same!! lol
