Oh boy - today was a challenge!!! It was my hardest day of parenting thus far.
My little three year old man tested every limit. I'm not proud of how our day went, but at the end of the day I got to tell him the "chocolate boy" story and smother him in kisses, so it's all good now :) I'd be lying though if I didn't say I'm already anxious about tomorrow. Finger crossed for a better day, and he is being shipped off to preschool anyway. :P
It was just one fit after another. I'm not kidding! My throat is even sore :( I am not a yeller, but yes, my throat hurts. I'll let you guess why. I seriously almost turned into a crazy person today, lol, and I'm pretty sure I said that 100 times, "you are making me crazy, True!!!"
Funny/not so funny quote of the day though, "Fine! Let's go in Target and find you a new mommy, one that will be nice to you." At least that got him quiet pretty quickly. ;) And it was a joke...promise...

Hi. I'm here.
I'm going to jump back into my blog. My kiddos deserve to know how cute they are, LOL.
No, but seriously, I need to document SOMETHING about our lives, right?
The days are a blur though. Truett is in preschool now and besides not napping all day, he is doing really well! He has a ton of friends and adores his teachers. If only he would nap. He can be such a beast in the evenings when he is sleep deprived. Three has certainly been an interesting age...he can go from sweet and silly to demonic in about 3 seconds. I'm pretty sure anyone out there with a 3-4 year old can relate. Good times, lol. It's really cool to see his imagination and independent play these days.
Mila Kaye is doing great. She is our wild child, no fear, approachs things without any caution...she's a dancer, a lover, a mama. Her smile is killer, it can melt you in an instant. :) She is really into her baby dolls and loves feeding them, wrapping them in blankets, playing with her stroller...it's amazing she is only 15 months because she can "play" like she is much older. I'm trying to call her Mila Kaye more often b/c I think it's cute and this way, in case Mila gets to be a popular name, this will keep her just a little bit different. ;) Of course no one else does this, just her psyhco mom, lol.
What else? Our weekends are filled with the normal hustle and bustle - showers, birthday parties, trips to the park, running errands, etc. I know -- everyone is jealous - ha. ;) I'm looking forward to this year though, for a few reasons. One of the main reasons is because our kiddos are getting more indpendent every day and it's exciting to take them places and experience new things through them. It is SO cliche but it's so true about all those "living through a child's eyes" sayings/quotes and all that mumbo jumbo. I mean, look how sweet:
Daddy & True at the Monstrer Truck Jam Show. Actually, all four of us went (and Ted's dad, Pappy), and we all really enjoyed it! It was Pappy's Christmas gift from True - might be something he gets to do every year.
Sweet baby girl looking through her purse.
Loving the swing!
First day of preschool - Handsome little man
Silly hat - they both love this thing.
Mila saying "CHEESE!" at the park.
On a random note, I also hope and pray this is the year I can make it without a running injury. I have been going to ART and doing PT since the week before Christmas, and I'll run my first 5 or 10K this month to see where I'm at recovery wise. Wish me luck.
