Hayden is still getting used to his new bed. He likes going to sleep with his light on now, for some reason. And now the kids have been getting up at 5.45 AM again... why!?! Kylie usually wakes up first and then goes into Hayden's room, wakes him up and they start playing. Apparently they are super prepared for the time change in a few weeks.
Everyday we have to get outside and play, otherwise we drive each other bonkers in our house. These kids need a backyard SO BAD. Hopefully sometime this year we will be able to get them one!
Kylie is having a really tough time lately. She says 'NO' to *everything* and is absolutely not listening to a thing anybody says. She is also having a rough time at school, and doesn't enjoy going there as much, which makes me sad. Thursday she got sent to the principals office (what happens when the preschool is attached to the elementary school...) and they called me and she missed out on play time with the class. Apparently she was angry at another student and choked him with his lanyard. Lovely. Her teacher and I are at our wits end trying to make her behave! Especially lately -she is so stubborn and defiant that you can't even talk to her. It is so frustrating to see her in this stage, but I have an idea for this next week that will hopefully make her realize what is going on around her. Luckily it is Spring Break so we won't have to deal with school for a bit.
Hayden also has had his rough moments (still wanting to sit on the cat...), but mostly he is just a busy body and it is hard to keep up with him. Take for instance this snippet of five minutes on a Friday night. Kids are having some ice cream because they finished their dinner (yay!), and I turn around and find him using a sand shovel as a spoon.
So I take the shovel away and get him situated at the table again, and while I am cleaning the shovel, he is busy mixing his ice cream and fry sauce together and eating it. Yuck. So I take the fry sauce container to throw away and in the two seconds it takes to do that he is spooning his ice cream into the play tea cups. Sigh. So this time I take the tea cups AND ice cream away (about time, right?), but that still doesn't stop him. After cleaning up the tea cups I turn to find him vastly spreading whatever ice cream had dripped on the table all over everywhere. It seriously never ends!!
But through all this stormy attitude weather we still have our fun moments (mostly when they are outside playing) and I still love my kids oodles. Even though they turn my brain to noodles.
