He's not 2 yet!!!! That's all I have to say!!!! Well not really... So Monkey is hitting the dreaded age of 2 with all the terribleness included. Today of course my patience and consistency has been lower than normal due to unexpected back pain (thanking the wonderful Colorado weather for that). He has decided that listening to Mommy is optional and each day Hubby is gone he gets worse and worse whether we Skype or talk on the phone. He is now understanding that Daddy is away and Mommy is running close to empty on all emotions except overwhelmed. I think part of the problem was last week I was gone a lot. Between my class, prayer group, and Heritage Makers Monkey was away from me I think for 5 nights last week and Sunday morning while I went to church. I'm so grateful that my parents love having Monkey and are willing to take him because if not I wouldn't be able to do everything I've been doing because I couldn't afford to pay a babysitter. I think my new goal (after my trip of course) is to make sure that Monkey only has a sitter 2 times a week not including church time. This will allow me to be more consistent and maybe slow down or mellow out those terrible 2's that are starting even though he's not even 2 yet!!! Yes I know I keep repeating myself but seriously couldn't he just let me enjoy these last few weeks before he started?
I got a great idea from this lovely blog about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life. So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet. So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...
