Today has been challenging. It started last night with N being in the night weening stage. He doesn't like the idea very much but I feel that it's time and he mainly uses me as a pacifier at night. Anyway he simply couldn't sleep last night for who knows what reason, but the big issue was getting him back to sleep. He just can't fathom going back to sleep at night without nursing. Anyway after much coaxing, soothing and helping him lay back down repeatedly we finnaly made it to the morning. As soon as he woke up he was ready to get into everything! I pulled him out of one cabinet only to find him nearly running for the next one. By noon I was ready to hit the pause and reset button on the day.
I got everyone lunch and sat down to relax for a few minutes. At one point I turned around to check on the kiddos at the table and saw that my daughter was no longer finishing up her art project. She had been very meticulously cutting a paper to shreds with child safe scissors when her hair started coming loose from her pony tail. Since it was getting into her face she decided to fix it! Short way to put it is... she now has bangs on one side of her head. :-D I called her Aunt, my sis in law asking for help since I haven't got the first clue of how to trim hair. I'm simply not gifted or interested in that department.
After sweeping up the hair, informing J once again that scissors are only for cutting paper.... (Not sure how I'm going to explain that I use them to cut fabric. Junk, I feel bad now. I will have to fix that on my own.) I sat down once again, this time with J next to me. My son N took off down the hallway, that should have been my first clue that he was on a mission and something was up. J and I worked on finishing our lunch and listening to a Internet radio program. N was gone for less than four minutes. Next thing I knew N was trying to clean the toilet with the toilet brush. I told him to put it back and instead of putting it back he decided (I guess) to bring it to me. He carried the dripping wet toilet bowl brush down the hall way and into the living room.
So now life is back to some semblance of quiet. I am sitting here blogging and the kiddos are asleep for their afternoon nap. We'll see what the afternoon is like, it has however been a general overall crazy kind of day.
