Recently I received a puppy for Valentines Day. I was so excited and I thought my five year old son would be too. He loves the puppy but he wants my attention the moment I begin to work with the puppy. I can feel the jealousy kick in as both he and the puppy pretty much fight for my attention leaving me running in circles and exhausted by the end of the day. At least there is a full day of school and errands to run throughout the week and a boyfriend to help out for a few hours too.

Would I trade this moment? No. It's not going to be forever and watching the puppy grow alongside my son will be wonderful to watch.
