High Maintenance Child...

Everyone always told my hubby & I just how lucky we were with Big Brother being the perfect child. He was so damn easy in every aspect!!!!I never agreed with them more than I do now that little brother's personality is coming about. Talk about high maintenance!!!! When LB does not get his way he falls to the ground kicking and screaming and does not stop until he is completely worn out!!! Today he wanted more milk and I did not give it to him fast enough so he proceeded to fall to the floor and screamed at me for about 5 minutes!!!! Needless to say, in my defense he did this screaming in time out-whether that did any good who knows???

LB starts school tomorrow at First Baptist Church School and I am curious as to how he will behave in the classroom. He does not hesitate to hawl off and hit, slap or punch BB if he does not get his way. It will be interesting to see if he behaves the same way with other 2 year olds in his class. It's going to be a long hard road this school year if LB does not learn to control his little temper... He's a real mess.................

Riverbanks Zoo Trip

We took a family trip to Columbia on Saturday to Riverbanks Zoo. Daddy and I said to ourselves-are we crazy doing this for a day trip? It ended up being a great day with very few disagreements or whining from either of the boys. Little Brother was mesmerized by all the large animals and Big Brother thought it was just plain cool! LB had his first Icee and enjoyed being pushed around in his stroller for most of the day. I think BB's favorite part was seeing the Lion! BB said -"Wow, he's really big"!!!I think LB's favorite part was seeing the penguins, esp. because they were in one of the only air conditioned rooms in the entire zoo. It was pretty hot too-about 95 degrees in the afternoon. All in all it was a very successful trip that the boys fully enjoyed.....

My little lambs.....

It's funny that my boys both love their lambchops. Big Brother calls his "Weechop" and Little Brother now calls his "Teechop". If either of them ever get upset or hurt the first thing they say is that they want their lambchops. It's the cutest thing to see them at night sleeping in their beds hugging those lambs....I don't know what I will do if we ever lose one!!

Time flies......

Today Dargan and I met our friends Teresa, Chloe & Cille Wren at Alhambra Hall playground. It felt so strange to be there without my sweet Will. It seems like yesterday that Will & I did everything together, just the 2 of us. We had an outing planned almost every day. We frequented Alhambra during the week and sometimes even made some friends while we played. Little Dargan is already 2 years old and it feels like my life has changed so much. Everyone always told me that I would be different with my 2nd child, but I did not believe it until now. Dargan is so appreciative when I do take him places, esp. when we have some one-on-one time which rarely ever happens..... I kept checking my watch to see when it was time to pick up Will from school....and I had 3 more hours to go! How strange that he's beig enough to go to real school and stay til 2:40 every day of the week! How can time go by that fast??? Dargan's orientation at First Baptist Church School was set for tomorrow, but was just cancelled due to an impending tropical storm. So I guess the 3 of us will be stuck inside once again these last few days of warm weather...

Back Porch Fun...

My boys love to play on the backporch. Rob Rob gave Little Brother a sand and water table for his 2nd birthday and of course more sand ends up on the floor than on the table! It really gets crazy when we let the pugs play on the porch. Talk about chaos! LB throws sand at them and they try to escape into the house. Big Brother is such a big boy now and comes home from a fun-filled day at kindergarten ready to relax on the backporch.
