2, 4, 6, 8...

2 - two is a hard age. everyone has heard of the terrible 2's. i never really experienced it with the boys, but no worries, hadley is making sure we know exactly what the terrible 2s are.

i am tired! some days are just not fun at all, and others she is a complete joy and so fun! today has been a good day, which is why i have a few spare minutes to blog. today she was perfect while mason was at speech and colored and did stickers with me. she played perfectly with all her toys, and has been full of hugs & kisses. but some days are so bad, and full of arguments, and everything has to be PINK and she needs to do everything herself! (hadley do, hadley's turn.... yes, she talks in the third person all the time.)

PINK - it was so cute when she first discovered her love for pink, but now it is just obnoxious. she was freaking out on craig the other night b/c her pink kitty towel was in the wash, and he was looking at me for help... too bad bud, you are on your own. welcome to my world.

monday i had an hour before mason needed to be picked up and i thought we could take a quick trip to whole foods... well the terrible 2 monster showed her face, and there was a change of plans. i put her in her car seat to keep her locked down, then put on a movie so she didn't fall asleep and ordered my salad for lunch from a local place w/ a drive-thru. hey, a moms gotta do, what a moms gotta do.

i really adore her, and love how cute she is, i just prefer to do it without all the drama!!! (have i mentioned how much i love that i only have 1 girl?)

4 - graham is four months old, and we finally had his well visit week. and by well visit, i mean sick visit. i would have brought him in for a sick visit but we already has his appointment scheduled. he is a big boy @ 15lbs 5 oz. he has bronchiolitis and just sounds awful! luckily, he is a happy boy, and a happy wheezer.

i was suppose to bring him back on tuesday for a recheck, but he sounded so bad on monday, that we went back in. he tested negative for rsv, and other than nebulizers, there is nothing we can do. i am praying he gets better soon... we go back next week for a follow up.

6 - the number of people in our family, which makes for a busy calendar. carter started soccer and baseball practice this week. mason starts t-ball practice on saturday. i love this time of year, seeing everyone at the fields, and getting outside... it's just that it is snowing as i type, so it is hard to embrace all the spring activities. yesterday we were teased with a beautiful day, and now snow... i guess that's new england for you.

8 - i can't believe carter is going to be eight years old on saturday. how is that possible?

last weekend we brought him and his friends to the movies to see Diary of a Wimpy KId: Rodrick Rules. it was cute and the boys loved it!!!

tomorrow we need to figure out our plans for this weekend (other than baseball practice)...

  1. I normally think snow looks pretty, but it's so depressing this morning. Maybe it will melt quickly. Hope Graham is better soon! I hate having to use the nebulizer. Your description of Hadley and her love of pink totally cracked me up. They definitely have very particular likes and dislikes at this age! Now you've made me rethink whether I really want more girls, or if boys would be a good idea after all...
