I feel a constant battle to teach her whats right and still let her be the crazy little thing she is. And, she is just the sweetest little thing. She says all the time "mommy cuddle me" One of these days we will have to get the two together.Sandy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967103819573187075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922805785589185728.post-31441144482937115182009-03-09T23:51:00.000-04:002009-03-09T23:51:00.000-04:00Once again Jenny, precious pictures.

You will not break Princess (or should I say Queen) Izzy's spirit, but instead mold it and she will use that spirited voice to share the truth with the masses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922805785589185728.post-84519814523257023002009-03-09T16:56:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:56:00.000-04:00Jenny, you and Tre are the perfect parents for Izz...Jenny, you and Tre are the perfect parents for Izzy, just as you were for Catie and are for Chip. Seeing all those different personalities helps me to KNOW there is a God; we aren't all clones. The time you're putting in now with Izzy is an investment that no bear market can wipe out, and it will just keep multiplying a hundredfold over the years. I can only imagine what a bright, poised, Proverbs 31 woman she'll be, able to do ALL sorts of things and do them well. It seems as though she looks more and more like Catie as she grows; maybe it's just the pictures, but I see so much of Catie in her face now. I love that!Pam Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681029046120784248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922805785589185728.post-3087623449874927222009-03-09T12:33:00.000-04:002009-03-09T12:33:00.000-04:00I read The Strong-Willed Child with my second son....I read The Strong-Willed Child with my second son. I had concerns for Andrew because it seemed that I couldn't understand him. I was always the "don't push the envelope" kid; which he did-regularly. He is 15 now and it is exciting to see that same (yet trained) independent spirit, used by God! There is also a book by Katie Fortune called, Discovering Your Child's Motivational Gifts. I wish that I had known about that book when my kids were younger. I think it could have made sense of things to me. <BR/>I've lurked on since the Caringbridge days and you and Tre seem like wonderful parents. God will give you just what you need to know with Izzy. <BR/>Blessings to you and your little "heritages from the Lord!"<BR/><BR/>Anne in GAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922805785589185728.post-21659149302740780822009-03-09T11:17:00.000-04:002009-03-09T11:17:00.000-04:00Having 3 teenagers now, I had to laugh.

And it will help for her to learn now and have a good foundation before she hits her teens! It is hard and VERY time consuming. It takes alot of patience and effort on your part. Hang in there. You've got the right idea. It will be worth it in the long run.Margaret Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161307787504678225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922805785589185728.post-9152567651667675632009-03-08T22:33:00.000-04:002009-03-08T22:33:00.000-04:00Oh my, I felt like I was reading my own life only ...Oh my, I felt like I was reading my own life only insert my son's name into every time you wrote Izzy! We've never met, but we are sisters in the Lord and I have followed your Caringbridge site and blog. May I recommend a book that has absolutely changed my life, my son's life and our family's life? It's called Raising Your Spirited Child and it even comes with a workbook. Pray about it and see if the Lord would have you check it out. I was afraid I would break my Austin's spirit as well and this book really helped me with that very thing. And by the way, all three of your children are just beautiful.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545013173756028104noreply@blogger.com
