Last night

Yesterday Sally picked up Jonas because Jenni was sick and they came over and played. At first Kinley was mesmerized by him. Oh look, someone my age! Jonas did nothing but stare at the boys. Oh my, big kids! He goes to First Baptist so he is with babies all day and Kinley is vise versa. She loved watching him and he the big boys. Sally put Jonas in Kinley's jumparoo and holy cow! She was giving him the dirtiest look a five month old can muster up. Surely she wasn't jealous...or was she. She never made a peep just watched him as he played. She had a frown and her eyebrows were very dramatic. She did not like him playing in her jumparoo!!! It was so funny. He didn't quite know what to think, I think the noise and commotion that go along with a 2 year old and a 4 year old were a bit overwhelming to him. He only cried a few times and just for a minute.

The boys had a rough evening for some reason. They were little devils. All I did from the moment we walked in the door was put someone in time-out or get onto someone or spank or put one in the room. SHEESH, it was exhausting! I bought them each a surprise from Target and gave it to them when we got home, big mistake, I should have given it to them at the end of the night if they behaved. I bought a (life like feeling) frog and lizard. I let Caleb choose my left or right hand. He chose and was happy until he saw what was in my other hand and wanted that so I let them trade. Another big mistake. Cohen wanted the lizard. I can't win for losing. Before the night was over we had taken away the toys, Caleb was grounded from furniture and Cohen was growling at me from the corner and going to bed early.

****Note to self, run....run as far as possible!!!****

I can't wait for the 'terrible twos' and the 'whiny' fours to be over! The twos have just begun.

Dear Lord if you can hear me, please grant me what it takes to survive toddler hood!!!
