Not so good!!

Abby really had a rough day yesterday. For some reason, she wouldn't listen and she kept hitting Ryan. He is discovering how to talk and he keeps saying "Mine". Well, Abby doesn't like this one bit. Every time he says it, she either says it back to him or hits him. I know CRAZY!!! Most of the time there is nothing there when they say MINE. Even more crazy!!!

Ryan had his 18 month check up yesterday. He weighs 28 lbs and is 34 inches tall. He is in the 75th percentile for his weight and 90th percentile for his height. I guess he will be tall. The doctor said that he doing well. I also had a list of questions to ask him about Ryan. Things like: Is it ok that he drinks all the time? I fill his sippy cup and not 5 minutes later it is empty. I also asked the doctor about the screaming. Some of you know......THE SCREAM that comes out of my child. I asked the doctor if Ryan could really hear himself as loud as we do. (Thinking that maybe he had some hearing problems.) NOPE just being a boy. If he can get a reaction out of you or someone else by screaming, then he will scream.

Conclusion: I have perfectly normal children who scream, hit, disobey, and drink constantly. Kids what cha gonna do with em??? Love em right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I do....I sooooo do. (Even though it wasn't an awesome day.)

Structured Chaos

Does that make any sense??? Today was total chaos. I let the kids make too many decisions and we ended up not doing much. I started out the morning balancing the checkbook, then I moved on to laundry and a little bit of house cleaning. I really did get a lot of work done before the kids woke up. Actually, Ryan woke up before me but I didn't get him out of his bed until 7:30 when he was full on crying. Not sure what is up with him, but he has been having some really weird poops lately. (I know TMI, right)

Anyway, we did our usual learning time and reading time but when we got to activity time, Abby couldn't make up her mind if she wanted to ride her bike or play in the backyard. We ended up back in the house because we were all thirsty and I really didn't want to be out there in the first place. (I had too much to do inside.)

On my nap break, I finished balancing the checkbook and get our finances in order for the rest of the month and made out my grocery list. This took up pretty much the whole nap time.

I made my spaghetti and meatball supper and just finished cleaning the kitchen and putting people to bed and now it's my turn.
