Parenting a 2 year old!

Sometimes I still feel like a new parent...LOL everything with Annika is new or the first time. She is now 2 and usually a really good child. There are some moments though I just wonder to myself. Annika is very active...she doesn't sit still for long (only in the car and sometimes..even that is tough for her). She is always on the go go go go go go.....

Now normally this I feel is a good thing, however 3 months ago I decided we need to start going to Church. Hmmm well she doesn't sit at all at church...it's full speed ahead.

So then I start to wonder, have I as her mom and only parent done something wrong with her?

I believe a child should have room to run and explore...I don't want her to be this always quiet child who just sits around. Still though there are times like in church I wish she could play quietly or color...but nope that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I know I should be a bit tougher on her...but I am unsure how to do that.



Keep looking up and God Bless!!
