I look at this angelic wee face and think, awww, ain't he precious....and normally he is for the most part. But lately we've been going through a stage which may be giving me a glimpse into my future life with a teenager.
I am determined, however, to TRY and remain positive, to keep my cool as best I can, and encourage Jack to refrain from battering his wee brother. So far I haven't been a model mummy at all. I've lost my temper, been grumpy and frustrated, and so, I realise that I need to make some personal changes too in order to be a better parent and example to my wee ones.
Thankfully, fights, wrestling, and chasing (with the intent to hit when caught) aside, they are still best friends. They adore each other and I try to savour those wee moments.
