Miss Amelia rules this household.
Every day I wake up with these goals in mind:- She will fall asleep on her own for all her naps, I will not rock her to sleep each time.
- If she wants my glasses or the remote, I will not give them to her.
- I will not carry her everywhere I go just because she cries when I leave the room.
And every day I break my goals. It is hard to stick to my guns. It is hard to realize, in the moment, that not spoiling her now will lead to long term happiness for the both of us. I like the quick fix.
I do have an excuse right now, she's been pulling at her ear and I suspect an ear infection is causing this extra need to be held all the time. We're seeing the doctor tomorrow.
But excuse or not, I have a lot of learning to do.

It's so hard not to spoil them when they are so little. Especially when they want you. These little bad habits can always be undone. Don't stress too much about it.
I agree that it's hard to not spoil them, especially when they're the only child right now. I already feel like I spoil Lexi. They're just so cute & know how to cry or look at you and win you over. Smart little babies!:)
