Well, to say no news is good news is somewhat true. I have learned that it isn't my profound writing that brings people (all two of you) to this blog. Its the pictures of the kids, so I will load up this entry with some. Basically, life has changed for us again. The kids and I went back to school too. We are at Rosewood Academy. Walker and I are in preschool and Lauren and Brady are in their respective age groups. Lauren is loving it except for nap time. She doesn't seem to be comfortable sleeping there. Brady has staked his claim on a lady named Kathy who he hogs and tries to charm with his chubby cheeks and manly growl (truly, he growls). Walker and I have been having a bit more of a struggle adjusting (enter uplifting and constructive comments here JK). So here's the bottom line, Walker and I have the same personality so we tend to clash in a big way and feed off of each other under stress. Yes, I am the adult and I should know how to handle this but I don't. He is seeking my attention by being naughty and like a sucker, I feed right into it. It is so hard to stand by and watch your own kid be naughty and not do anything. We have been having melt downs daily (him, me or both of us). He is also having huge separation anxiety. For example: Today Walker slept in my bed last night, showered with me, went to school with me, went with me on break because he would have disrupted everyone in his class, came home with me and is now watching TV with me. We have literally not spent two whole minutes apart today. Any suggestions????????????? Note the desparation in the number of question marks. He is an adorable little boy and I want to make good memories for him from this experience.
So now you know my latest failures in parenthood. Stay tuned for the next blunder!!!
Explanation of pictures: The first one is of all the grandkids on Doug's side, so my kids and all of their cousins taken back in April. The next one was of Doug in Brady (too cute) and the last I think sums up my sentiment on a bad day (Lauren in one of her not so finest moments). Enjoy!!
