The Three
Emma has recently given up naps. *cue tears* I seriously looked forward to her naps, for it meant I had only one child to contend with, and that child is usually napping (on me) so I would have quiet time while Jack was at school. In theory, this was wonderful, and for the first few months of Jack being in school it WAS wonderful. However, about a month ago, Em decided that she would only nap ever other day, which dwindled to 3 times a week, which dwindled to nothing. So, I decided to do with her what I did with Jack when he gave up naps. I sat her on my bed with some toys and books with the TV on, so she could quietly play and occupy her time so I could still have quiet time. (Oh yes, my kids watch TV...) Well, that worked for maybe...3 days? Then she decided to explore my room...my chapstik would be eaten (yes, eaten), the step stool would be on top of my bed and the ceiling fan would be turned on. Greg's statues on his night stand were turned into play toys, and my jewelry box would be empty So, needless to say, this is no longer happening.
Sara will be 8 (!!!!) months old this month. She is FINALLY rolling on a daily basis (yes, I've even seen it happen). She does try to crawl, but she winds up just pushing herself backwards and then gets frustrated because she's going the wrong way. She's VERY vocal, the "da's" and the "ooh's" are an all day, every day thing. I also swear she says, "Hi", but I could be wrong. She loves to clap and play "pat a cake", she also loves to give kisses. She is obsessed with her pacifier, which makes me CRAZY. I hate those things. I hate even more that I will have to take it away from her at some point. I think I may make Greg do it, let HIM be the bad guy. I'll write more about Sara when she hits 8 months.
Jack Willy, the ever growing, ever changing, ever sassy. The things that come out of his mouth these days. His new favorite word is "whatever". He also started with, "I could just die!" when something is funny. I hate that he knows that word. Die. He's also used the word "kill" a few times, while playing with toys. I hate that, as well. There is no violence in this house. They don't have fake weapons. They don't watch violent cartoons. I'm very easygoing, but I draw the line at violence and play weapons. I hate them. I realize that other parents are different, and that's fine, but I just don't like that he's being exposed to it. I also realize that I can't protect him forever, or hide him from the not so pleasant things in the world, but I really try my hardest. I kind of feel like it's my duty, as his mother, to shield him from that. Oh cruel world, leave my boy alone!!
He's also been really pushing his limits, and testing the waters when it comes to the rules. Oh boy. It's been keeping things very interesting here, that's for sure.
Well, I guess that's it for now.
Love you, babies!!
