It's days like today that I really wish my mom was here, Cooper is getting so big and doing new things everyday. He talks so much and is so smart. He is 2 however and a little devil He screams NO at me all day and has started hitting. Here he is in time out for hitting his cousin Cayson. I just wish mom was here for a few little pointers on what to do to.I'll Be There
over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there
in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there
Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
My uncle always played this song for me and my sister growing up, It has only been the past few years that I understand it.

A really good book on discipline is the Toddler Whisperer or Love and Logic. It taugh me everything I know. When I had my first child I was like "ok now how am I supposed to know what to do?". So I read a whole bunch of books and kept doing the stuff that worked really well.
Hi Kylee,
For growing up hardly knowing your Mom you have surely turned out to be a wonderful, caring mother and friend. I can't begin to imagine how hard it would be not being able to turn to your mother for support and advice. I really like the song you have playing on your blog and I know your Mom is probably involved in your life more than any of us realize. She is so proud of you for keeping up on your sweet attitude and always caring for those in your life. I believe you are doing things well in the discipline area for Cooper. It's called tough love and if you pay the price of tough love now, he will have a better chance of growing up to be a responsible, well-adjusted adult. The best scenerio for discipline that I learned when my children were young was this:
Picture yourself in the middle of dark, windowless, doorless room. You are sitting on a chair--confused and alone and you're wondering what the room is like. You crawl on the floor very slowly, feeling with your hands--hoping there are no sudden drops or hard things that you might bump into. After all you do not want to be hurt. You crawl until you reach the wall. Then you stand and feel around the walls and you go around the square of the walls. You become confident that you are safe with the boundary of the walls--there are no drops or bumps, but because it is dark, you are never sure you have covered all of the area between the walls and your chair. So, you keep testing to make sure the boundaries are safe. This applies to a young child's life. They will crawl and feel their way until they know their boundaries (the walls). Then they will will keep testing to make sure the boundaries haven't changed. As long as the boundaries do not change, they feel very secure and will behave better. If consistency changes, however, they will test to see if their boundaries have broadened. Once the child is older and can be reasoned with, of course the boundaries are made larger--but only after the child has proven to himself and you that they can handle the smaller boundaries. I hope this makes sense to you. It really helped me to make sure I stayed consistent at all costs. My child's future well-being depended upon it.
I agree with the other comment, "Teaching With Love and Logic" is a great one.
I hope you know you can turn to me for advice. I don't claim to have all of the answers but I do have a listening ear and I care about you. Have a wonderful day. Love, Lori
Thanks Camille, I will look into reading a few books about it.
And Lori You are the best! I love you and I am so glad you are apart of my life. You have made times in my life growing up a lot easier. I am so glad and grateful that you were my YW leader and that You were brought into my life. You have wonderful kids, So any advice you give me I will sure take and apply to my life. Thank you for sharing it with me.
