Kids are tough

Man, kids are tough. Being a parent is harder then I ever imagined.
I hope I don't screw them up to bad.......
I thought I would have all the answers by now.
Where is the cheat sheet?

It is so strange, the kids are at 3 different phases. Switching to deal with each of them can be difficult.

Caitlyn is turning 18. She wants the privileges of being an adult. It is hard to let go and allow her to explore yet set limits. I remember being that age and thinking my parents were so out of it, while my friends parents were so cool. I look back and those friends made a lot of bad decisions they are living with to this day. I now appreciate my parents attempt to keep me safe and helping me grow. She is a smart kid and I am excited to see what she does in college. She has worked hard to this point and amazes me with her wit, knowledge, and wide variety of interests.

Chloe is so cute and knows it. She started school and wants to do everything Stephen does. She started playing soccer and loves it. Chloe never meets a stranger. She is going to be a fireball when she gets older. I am not sure what we are gonna do...

Stephen is gaining confidence weekly. School and all his activities make him tired. But, if we don't keep him busy, he gets himself in trouble. He realized he is smaller then the other kids and struggles with it. But, at soccer he mixes it up with the biggest kid on the field.
