Whatever Wednesday

Here are a few random thoughts for this Wednesday....

I love my kids. They are the light of my life, but sometimes they (mainly C) drive me up the wall. A few weeks ago David was working late and it was my first time going solo putting both kids to bed. I decided to rock them in hopes that the little one would go to sleep. Well to my surprise the big one fell asleep first. I sat there savoring the moment knowing that it may be awhile before I had a chance to do it again. I felt so blessed in that moment. Fast forward a few weeks, I'm at it alone again and I lose my patience with the big one. There has definitely been jealousy creeping in lately over E. Last week she threw a toy across the car while I was feeding him and it bounced off the window an hit me. I think her love language is Quality Time and she hasn't been getting that from me lately. When I ask her to clean up she ignores me and no type of punishment phases her. I'm at a loss on how to get through to her. However, I do know that she relishes 1-on-1 time with me or daddy.

We are looking into preschools for C next fall. How can she be old enough for school yet? I think she will really enjoy school. Now to tackle that thing called potty training.

California has the smallest parking spaces ever. It's a pain to get my kids out of the car especially when other people park horribly. Not to mention, everyone in SD drives an oversized car and the spots are made for compact cars. I now see the appeal of vans with sliding doors. Getting a carseat in and out of my car is painful at times because everyone else parks badly. ;)

Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day.
