Is it normal to ask your 3 and 1/2 year old "what the H-E-double hockey sticks" he is doing?

I didn't think so.

Oops. Yet another parenting blunder. I am sure I just created a sociopathic-serial killer.

Will continues to push limits and his brother. Oh yeah, and my buttons. I often wonder how such a sweet boy can have such terrible moments. All is forgiven and forgotten when I peek in his room at night and watch my precious little man sleeping.

Max (or Maxy as he is more affectionately called....I now, it will not be good on the playground some day!) is quite mobile and is into everything. He has become quite ornery (sp?) and cracks up when you catch him doing what he shouldn't. It is funny the first 3 times. Two advantages to independent walking: 1.) playing outside is much easier; 2.) he wears himself out and for the first time in a year, he is sleeping good.

As my "angels" sleep, I must go exercise. If I sit here too long, I will talk myself out of it! Must maintain 23# weight loss....

Ok, here we go. If Kelly can find time to do this with boys the same age as mine, then I guess I better give it a try. Who wants to read about my boring life, anyway?

Will is 3 and 1/2 and shows his age in every respect. Whoever named it "the terrible twos" got it all wrong. They must have shipped their kid off to boarding school before he turned 3. Max is 13 months and now walking all over the place. Still doing the high-guard walk and falling frequently, but walking nonetheless. As you can tell, he loves his binky!

We had a busy, fun-filled day yesterday and the boys are sleeping it off now. We went to see Uncle Chad at the firehouse. Will got to play captain and ride shotgun as Chad pulled the truck out of the garage. Quite exciting! We then met some friends at the new Shawnee pool. They have a water slide that is pitch black inside. It gave me a slight anxiety attack. Luckily, the ride only lasts about 7 seconds. Our friends then came back to our house for pizza. We were up late, but we got to sleep in until 8 for the first time in about 3 and 1/2 years.

That's about the excitement of our lives. We just try to have a little fun in between temper tantrums!
