Raising Children

Let me start out by saying that I LOVE my children. If I think about them too much I could get emotional. Only three years ago, we didn't know if we could ever have children. After our third miscarriage, the outlook was pretty slim. So all of that to say, I am truly blessed! Our children are great.
But man is it hard to raise them. Anna Grace is now 2. I don't know when it happened, but one day she decided that she didn't want to listen anymore. So we are adjusting to a new phase of loving and disciplining our children. Is it wrong to demand first time obedience? (I know what I think, but what about you?) Is it possible for that to work? A couple of weeks ago, we were talking to a couple of ladies in the church and they laughed at us for thinking it could happen.

So any encouragement, advice would be great.
