Some of January 2016

She's kinda like a Boss.  I don't even know what to say about the girl.  She's crazy.  She climbs all over and does things she shouldn't do.  She puts everything in her mouth she shouldn't.  She knows exactly what you're saying.  When I tell her I am going to take something away from her she holds on tighter and runs away and laughs.  She's 16 months old.  The other two weren't that devious when they were 16 months old.  

Big Will is not napping much these days. It makes some days really long b/c I don't get a break and it makes some days really long b/c the lack of sleeps makes him crazy.  Full on emotional disaster kinda crazy.  He has big emotions.  We got the game Seek-A-Boo for Christmas and it's been a big winner.  Everyone can play it together.

I was told that pickles are one of the foods that are supposed to help the digestive system. I try just about anything and everything to get this girl to poop like a normal person. The kids can eat a jar of pickles a day. It's disturbing.

 Who knows.

She loves to wipe her bottom.  She just runs around with wet wipes and wipes at her butt.  It's pretty entertaining.

Miss M has so much attitude.  It's humorous and horrendous depending on her mood and my mood.  She knows when she's pushed too far.  Most of the time she willingly goes to her room when sent due to poor word choice or tone.  She told me the other day (after I had screamed at Big Will about a lot of somethings) that she didn't want me to yell at her so she was going to make good choices. I appreciated the fact that she understood that making good choices results in my not yelling. Now we need her to realize it everyday and not just after I lose it on them and we need to get the small ones on board.

 The hooded towels we got for Christmas are a hit with everyone.

Big Will wants his picture taken more these days so he tries to smile for the camera. Sometimes it's just a flop and he looks dopey but it's a trait he inherited from his Uncle.

But I bought Miss M swimming goggles for her swimming lessons.  They are teaching (forcing) her to put her head in the water so goggles seem like a reasonable accessory. But I am honestly working on not making as many flippant purchases.

 Trying to get the last drip of Hi-C left. Hi-C is serious business.
