setting boundaries with Molly


Family times on our screened porch this summer have been far and few between, as my cousin Martin used to say, but Labor Day weekend Number One Son Drew brought his two daughters almost 3 year old Ella and 7 months old Molly for a visit with their Nanas for a final pool fling. While Daddy Drew and Ella took a bathroom break, Pretty captured my efforts to teach Molly the importance of boundaries.

Naynay, why are your eyes always watering?

Maybe you have something in there

Naynay, stop talking about my fingernails – not nice

Ok, Naynay – is this better?

Naynay, please stop talking about boundaries

Can anyone help me keep Naynay from talking about boundaries?

What’s a boundary?

    “But God bless the child that’s got his own, that’s got his own …”

    God bless this little one.

    Honey child, just enjoy not talking about boundaries just yet. There will be many thrown up to trip you up in due course. Jump them all!
