Raising Arizona...or Ava...

So first off we had another big run today...8 miles...it really did kill me! ...but I am sure it will get easier, sometime?! I'll keep my time to myself considering I have quite a few hard core runner friends! Thanks for all the pump up music ideas, they definitely helped me out at times.

Now for my question...

So now that a have a sometimes sweet and sometimes not-so-sweet little 2 year old I get to thinking. Of course every mom wants to raise their children well and teach them to be good kids and even better adults...my question is HOW???

Lucky for me I have 2 wonderful examples, my mom and mother-in-law and countless examples of good parenting around me. But I am always wanting to pick peoples brain about little tactics. So, with concern for my children's well-being I turn to you...the blogging world, scary I know. Let me know what you think. You know the little bits of advice you've received or rather the special traits or abilities you admire in the mother's that you look up to most.

You are incredible!!! Running 8 miles while pushing two little ones?! The lyrics to the song "I am Woman" come to mind right about now. How do you do it?! I still can't run 5 miles...

Whatever advice you get could you write it down for me. I'll need your help in a few years.

Linds- You are pretty spectacular. When I grow up can I be like you? As for the 2 year old stuff, I have no idea but, I do know you'll pull through it and look as hot as ever! And do write it down some of us may need it in a few years.

Jesse responds great to the "supernanny" timeouts. But he is always eager to please. I have my doubts that it will work on Faith though. She has got some demon bruing. All kids are so unique despite the parenting.
