It's a beautiful thing

I wanted to share a little happy story. Today I went to a scrapbook sale and I actually made it through every aisle without having a panic attack or getting upset and leaving then getting in the car and crying or yelling. I had so much fun with McKenzie ( a three year old for all those who don't know) I asked her to be my big girl helper and hold my bag. And she did it. I held one side and she held the other. That way she was helping but I could keep her by me (instead of telling her she had to hold my hand!) If she started to wonder off I simply said Oh No.... And stood there and she would look at me and then say sorry mom. I haven't read the books yet but Kim has given me a few tips so I am starting to implement the OH NO, that's sad, and bummer to my parenting skills. I have had 2 days filled with laughter, love, and FUN! That hasn't happened for a long time. Hopefully I am doing everything right!! I guess I better introduce myself I am a friend of Kim's. I live in Utah. I have 2 children, a 6 year old boy Ashton and a 3 year old girl McKenzie. I am married to my best friend Paul. We have been through so much together and I can't imagine what I would do without him. Again a huge THANKS to Kim for all your help!
