It's been awhile....

Gosh, it's been awhile since I have posted anything, sorry! I haven't had much to say lately I guess. I don't know if I can say life is boring, because I am definitely not bored but I haven't really had anything to write about. It is the same old stuff, just a different day!

The kids are doing good!! Aiden is finally starting to settle down a bit for me. It was a ROUGH couple of weeks. He wasn't listening, eating, and he had a horrible attitude. There were many days that I could not wait to drop him off at daycare and as much as I hate to say it, I dreaded picking him up. I never thought I would say that about my own child but it he was unbearable to deal with!! I didn't know how to handle him all we would do is scream at each other every night and then one night I realized I need to settle down and I need to do something to teach him that he can't act the way he is. After much thought I sat Aiden down and told him that from now on anytime the he does not listen to me, or he gives me attitude he will lose a toy. He didn't like this, but he figured it out pretty quick. The first night he lost all of his favorite toys.... his trains, his barn, and his farm animals. The thing about losing these toys is that when he lost them they went on top of the refrigerator so he could see them, he just couldn't reach them. The only way he could get his toys back was to earn them back one at a time by having a good day at daycare with no time-outs, or doing something good for me at home. He figured this out quick and I am happy to say we haven't had to put any toys on the fridge for almost a week now!! Woo Hoo!! This makes me very happy!



Hailey is doing wonderful... she is up to about 10 lbs now. I can't believe she is going to be 4 weeks old in 2 days. Where did the time go? I feel like I just brought her home from the hospital a few days ago. Ugh.... I hate to see my baby grow up. I love the newborn stage, I wish I could keep her this age forever (except sleeping at night)!!!! I can't complain though... she gets up about once during the night. It is awesome. I am guessing she will be sleeping through the night by the time I go back to work, or at least I hope so! I also wish I could freeze this time for Gary. I hate that he is missing out on this stage.... it sucks. I can't wait for him to come home and meet her, I just hate that he will have to go back and she will never remember that first time meeting her daddy! I am so ready for all of this to be over, but I think all of you know that!!

Anyways, that is about all that is going on. Nothing too exciting! Hopefully I will have something more interesting to write about soon!!!
