What is up with my children???
Raising Brice is killing me. It really is. He turns two tomorrow and has the attitude to prove it. We're entering the "I want to do everything myself" phase. Except that he can't actually say this. He does talk, but it's more like he says things that only we can interpret. He mostly screams and yells and throws tantrums. And his newest thing is that he does not nap. He's exhausted, but he stands in his crib and talks, then yells, then screams. For hours. I refuse to get him up, so that he can bug me and cry and cling and scream when he should be sleeping. So I leave him. And he usually falls asleep after 2 or 2.5 hours. This sucks. Harry has been screaming through the night recently. Now that he's 8 months old, I (and Seth and the good Dr.) think he should start sleeping through the night. Harry does not agree. This week I had three nights in a row where I slept maybe 4 hours combined. And i'm so stressed out by the lack of sleep and the general existence of Brice that even when I could sleep, I can't. Someone please remind me. Why did I have children????

to take you to the edge of insanity, occasionally cross over that line, find your way back again and then realize that it was god's grace all along that rescued you.... that is why you had kids. but why anyone has the second one... that i am still pondering?! wink, wink! sending prayers upon your behalf!
Oh, my friend! Someday, Brice is going to make a ton of money and send you and Seth to live in luxury on a remote island in the Bahamas. Is two years old too early for boarding school? :)
Too early for boarding school, not too early for preschool. He has quite an arm, and we're hoping he goes pro shortly after college and makes up for all the heartache he has already caused us.
because they're gorgeous....and this is just a season.....and soon you will be replaced by more exciting things:) so enjoy the clingy....screaming....only-u-can-fix-it......days.....Know that I with you on this one....done it many times over and am in the middle of the twos myself along with a 21, 19, 18, 16 and 6 year-old:) sigh....but I love em with every ounce of my being:)
