Well I'm back. Well, i never really left, but have been very absent for oh wait, A YEAR! So sorry for all my devoted reading fans out there. LOL!! Can't say much has happened over the past year with the exception of two rapidly growing now toddlers (sad face!) Brayden is 2 (almost 3 in March) and Quinn is a whopping 17 months old! Where oh where has time gone?? I've always been told that time will only go faster as i get older. i wasn't much of a believer until children came along.
So, from my last post, here's what new: David is back working at Brentwood School in Sandersville. (That's where we were to begin with) and I'm at home doing my thing with my 2 littles. Brayden started a 2 yr old preschool program where he goes 5 days a week. We struggled at the beginning with hitting/pushing/and even yes the deadly biting. Very frustrating because we didn't learn to bite at home. We learned it at school but i guess that comes with the territory. Needless to say, i was mortified when my child became the "biter". I was actually more ok with him being bitten than biting people. Weird i know. So he goes to the Methodist Church pre-school. I'm thinking he might be a little "in love" because he always comes home talking about "Jade". Met this "Jade" at the school's fall festival. She's cute, so im ok with it ;) lol So we are now into January of pre-school and i must say, that our 'behavior' has gotten better but our defiance is now in full swing. "NO" is our favorite word and i think my child might sit in his bed more during the day that is humanly possible for telling mommy or daddy "no" but geez kid, somethings gotta give already!! So, to say he is stubborn, is honestly an understatement. I feel like i wrote the book on stubborn as a child, so im just getting a healthy dose of my own medicine unfortunately.
Favorite thing so far with B, is that he is learning to 'pretend'. Yesterday, he made a play-doh hamburger and said, "look mommy....delicious". where he learned delicious from is beyond me, but whatever kid. Keep up the great vocabulary!
Quinn is becoming a very quick learner. She has grasp the whole "please" and "thankyou" way faster and better than Brayden ever thought of doing. So that is encouraging. She is going to be our uncoordinated child. HA! She hasn't really mastered running but has such a sweet and laid back spirit about her. She is extremely sensitive,which i feel like she plays her father to a tee, but what can you do! She'll start school next fall so i'll have 2 in pre-school. Awe, a blissful 3 hrs of just mommy time. what is one to do?? oh no worries, i can think of plenty!
All you peeps that think us stay at home moms sit around and watch TV eating our bon-bons are clearly delusional. We have to budget, shop, discipline, clean, cook, make bfast/snacks/lunch/snacks/dinner.....did i mention snacks??? Oh and don't forget the dreaded potty training..... UGH that just makes me pumped to potty train Q. but i will say, a friend told me about "naked baby theory" and i TOTALLY recommend everyone to use. B was trained for a good 90% after day 3! So if you're interested do some googling. thats what i did and it worked like a charm.
Well naptime is over at this household. My two hour window of pure blissfulness has come to an end until about 8:00 tonight. So until then.... Adios!
