Finally

After a few days of the returned humidity, today the weather finally gave in and the rain has begun. Woooohoo! I didn't even hear it but Zachariah saw it out his window in the room.

I asked Zachariah if it was still raining and he said "It's raining faster". Cute! It's interesting to hear how a child chooses the word they'll use. I'd say "it's raining harder". Faster makes sense too.

Today I pondered why, despite knowing the tendencies most common in parenting the baby of the family, I'm falling into the trap of not being as firm. I know Zachariah is too cute for his own good. It's not even that though. I think it's because I don't have as much energy as I did when I only had one child, or then two. I just don't have it in me to put up the fight.

I say that as almost every single wall in our apartment is now covered in his artwork. I need to motivate myself because I don't want to fall into the trap of being easier or less consistent.
