confessions of a first time mom

A couple of days ago, I opened my messy closet to get my shoes. That's when I noticed "Suzie's" shoes carefully and neatly put away with all the other shoes. Knowing the rule about no shoes in the house, Penélope must have removed her dolly's shoes after arriving home from our outing earlier that day and put them neatly away.

I wish I could take credit for her obedience and organized ways. I'm sorry I cannot. I always thought I would be a very consistent parent. I'm not. I used to view myself as organized. I'm not.

Penélope is that way just because God made her like that. And I'm not about to complain.
