Two more things
that I've learned in my week or so of motherhood....
1. When you put catsup on your kids plate, put it on the edge away from them, and not the side. They will get their sleeves in it otherwise.
2. If you promise your kid a candy if they go to the store with you, make sure they can fully understand in their own language, that the candy is at the store and you don't actually have it yet. Or they may go stomping around for their candy and you have to somehow mime yourself going to the store and getting it there. Not easy. Also, when you get to the store, just buy some extra for the next time.
Or maybe you should just not bribe your kid with candy.
Wise words of parenting, I tell you.

Tracy,
I have been reading your blog and it sounds like things have been tough! But, you know, I also can see how the Lord is giving you extra measures of grace and strength. You are doing great, girl! Andre is so blessed to have you and Brent. I think things will get a lot better once he understands and can speak English and you're back home. This has to be a huge shocker to his little world and I'm sure he's handling it like any other 6 year old would and giving you a run for your money! YOu guys take care and I'll be praying for your family.
Love,
Dawn Holycross
tee-hee. Somebody should have told you about the ketchup. ;) We've gone through a lot of laundry that way.
