Some days are hard...

I hate that feeling when your child is being the "problem child" of the group. Not even that there is a problem, but they are just being 2. Still, I feel a bit of helplessness when they don't listen and comprehend the consequences of their actions. It is a phase right? Because, here I sit thinking about it I suppose because I am a good parent. Well, for now we will just use Jesse's technique "Santa is watching!"

Princess shoes and motorcycles

So, I feel like it is okay to expose your child to both sides of the gender specific toys. For example, I was shopping for a birthday present and came across a pair of dress up shoes. I bought them. For Avery. He loves princess shoes....the look, the feel, they way they clomp on the floor. It is quite a site! He was so excited when I presented him to them...his little girlfriend was over and she didn't even seem to take much interest. So, there you have it. He has princess shoes. He still loves motorcycles, fire trucks, and monster trucks (4-wheelers) so I am content in knowing he is a gender balanced child. After all, less than two hours after taking off his heels he was tied to a tree by Braden via a rope-leash and was loving it!

This is it!

I have been so disappointed in myself lately that I haven't taken the time to chronicle the really fab things the boys do on a day to day basis. So, with the guidance of great mommas across the nation (thanks ladies) I will start a blog. The goal is two fold: 1. keep up family and friends with news, etc. 2. keep a history for the boys to look back on (and me!) and remember memories past. So, if it seems a bit drippy with sentiment, sorry! Enjoy and wish me luck!
