" I tried hard never to say "no" if I could possibly say "yes." I think that worked well because it gave my children the feeling that I trusted them and they were responsible to do the best they could."

Pictures of me saying "yes".
Sometimes Miriam looks darling, but most of the time she looks crazy, wild, or even homeless. I NEED to document the fact that I say yes to her desire to dress herself. I just need make myself feel better when I see little girls in completely coordinated outfits. I would love to dress Miriam up like a little doll everyday. I remember wanting to do the same to my little sister Julia when she was a tot. She resisted me as well.
Here is me saying yes to Miriam making a huge mess with her toys. It's her house and her chalk, how can I say no....she isn't writing on MY walls. So yes our backyard is full of chalk our fridge, oven and dishwasher have "artwork" taped up all over. It looks chaotic, and I don't love it but I love how proud she is of herself.
