The kids seemed to be hopped up on sugar that you know they didn't get from you 24/7...They are fighting more than ever and being even more resistant to what you tell them to do. It seems like things are not going to be "normal" again. You try to put on your happy face but lets be honest some days it seems impossible and maybe it is impossible...I'm going to try to be positive though but first things first the terrible 3's!
My 2 year old insists he is NEVER naughty....hmmm...i think other wise mister, he is very strong willed and wants things his way....He thinks Santa is only bringing him presents.He says no one else is getting any..He is definitely at the terrible 3 stage of me, me, me, and only me even though he has a bit over a month til his birthday...
Right now this is our "normal". My 2 year old thinks he is allowed to beat his older brother up even though he has be repeatedly told no and given many time outs...
This is the look I got when I told him to stop...Its the "What?! I wasn't doing anything" look. He knew he was in trouble.
My oldest doesn't believe in Santa anymore at the age of 8! That's ok though. He does know what Christmas is about and was happy to get to pick his sister and brother a gift...He wanted to use his money but I told him I would buy them and for him to save his money for something important....
My 8 year old has been very winy lately and has become a home body...We had to make him go place with us this weekend...He then acts tired the whole time...He wants to be playing INFINITY...
He does enjoy himself when he goes with us but I have to be quick to catch the moments he has forgotten about being at home. I LOVE his smile...Please don't stop blessing the world with your kind, giving, and loving heart...He really is wise beyond his years with some of the things he says when we have deep discussions but his 8 year old self makes itself heard for sure...
Bella is Very much into Christmas...She is typically happy and she seems even more so here lately...
You can often find her dancing in the kitchen to Katy Perry or OneRepublic with her version of ballet. She has spunk and a fire I never want to see dim...I love how she can make a whole room smile with her happiness radiating off of her...She has actually been on her best behavior lately and the first to tell the boys to stop and behave...
Here is our picture with Santa this year...It may not be your version of perfect but this is what our year has looked like at times...2 grumpy boys and one happy girl...Its not always going to look this way, but I want to remember these years how they actually were. So to me its our perfect.
