But first, today we had a day of first.
\n One fun, one less fun. This morning, for the first time, Lex
\n got out of his bed and came into our room. I woke up to him
\n saying “good morning” :) Not so good, at the playgroup we went
\n to today, Lex very intentionally pushed a kid and made him cry
\n – several times! The first time I’ll call an accident. They
\n were in the bouncy tent and Lex fell against the kid and made
\n him cry. (for what it’s worth the kid was probably 3yrs and
\n definitely bigger than Lex.) But later they were in the tent
\n again and Lex went over and deliberately pushed the kid. The
\n boy started to cry and got out of the tent. Lex followed him
\n out and pushed him again, knocking him over! Needless to say he
\n was not allowed back in the tent. He has been in quite the mood
\n today. He spent most of the morning crying for no particular
\n reason, then was just rowdy and mean at the playgroup.
\n Definitely a first for him :\/ There was some bad energy at the
\n playgroup anyway, so maybe that was part of the problem. He’s
\n napping now and hopefully will wake up a little happier.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the point of this post is that life
\n (or me anyway) seems so up and down lately. I’m permanently
\n exhausted (why aren’t I napping now??) and can so easily go
\n from happier to cranky at the drop of a hat. Lex is the same
\n way. I’m not sure who’s feeding off of who here, but it kind of
\n sucks. He will be driving me crazy then turn suddenly sweet on
\n me… leaving me feeling guilty for being cranky. Or we’ll be
\n having a great day and suddenly, of the out blue, he whack me
\n across the face and dissolve into a crying fit. I know this is
\n the classic definition of “terrible twos”… two years old and
\n two kids two years apart. All normal, but man am I
\n tired!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
