I don't recall sending an invite to....

the TERRIBLE TWOS!!!  Oh my!  We have had a rough few days.  I don't know what is going on with this little boy of mine but we have been butting heads lately.  We have had some struggles with listening and I have been trying to teach him that he is a big boy and that big boys don't wear diapers and aren't held all the time.  We have really been working on these things and one day he will say he is a big boy and the next he will say, "I not a big boy, I a baby!"  Each and every day we have a struggle specifically with these two things.  It's a fighting match to get him to change his diaper and if I suggest we go to the potty instead he has no interest in that.  He also wants to be held all the time.  Although it is very cute when he says, "Hold you" and as much as I want him to stay a baby forever, I also know that it is my job to be his mother and to teach him life lessons.  

So we will continue......

I hope this stage comes and goes quickly and I am hoping that maybe it's just the fact that it's a season change and he is use to going outside lots and going all the time and lately we have been sticking close to home.  

Who knows, right?!?!  

Last night, (or early this morning, rather) as I laid wide awake in bed, I kept going over the last couple days in my head and I just got discouraged.  I think as a mom we all want to be able to know exactly what it is our children want and be able to help them.  I am very lucky in that Jason is very supportive of me.  He knows that when it's been a rough day he lets me have a few minutes to myself, a night out with some girlfriends or like this coming weekend a weekend a away with the girls (he is also getting off the hook of helping Christmas shop!  It's a win-win! )

I guess it wouldn't be much fun or interesting if our lives just went the way we wanted all the time, right! :)

But if you have time, please say a little prayer for us all! :)
