even though Adalie’s coming close to the terrible two’s, she’s an angel. For three days she did the typical two yr. old tantrums like rolling on the ground screaming when I said no, screaming no no no and running away from me, being really posessive of her belongings and I said to myself, “oh no, here it starts, the terrible two’s! It really is terrible!” but fortunately it lasted 3 days and it stopped.(*knock on wood*) Sure she has her moments here and there but overall she is such a sweetheart.
Well she did make me scream in pain and cry today when she roared like a lion and wrapped her “claws” around my thigh and bit me. But that was only after Jay had chased me and pretended to bite my leg. Tsk tsk. Now that I think about it, I should’ve put Jay on time out instead of Adalie! What was I thinking! Man, these are the moments when I wish I wore the pants in the house! I could never be like my friend Amy who put her husband on time out along with her son and he actually goes to the corner and sits down until his wife tells him he can come out.
Being a mother is getting a little more hard. I didn’t realize why I’ve been so burnt out and needing my alone time or wanting to travel far away without the kids but I just realized a few days ago it’s because it is getting harder. Ariana started crawling and that means full attention to her every single second so she doesn’t bonk her head or grab something dangerous, and she’s smart enough to know and cry when I leave the room or more than 5 ft. away from her. I also realized if I had Ariana right about now when Adalie’s turning two, it would’ve made motherhood about 5.37 times easier. So even 7 months later would’ve made my life so much less exhausting! ONE ADVICE to ALL MOTHERS out there: DO NOT HAVE KIDS A YEAR APART. IT IS JUST DANG TOO HARD ON YOUR BODY AND OVERALL. Seriously. Take my advice, you don’t want to find out the hard way.
Anywho enough of my rambling. Adalie surprises me with new sentences each day. Today as she saw these pumpkin lights at the house next door, she ran up to the lights and said, “Wow! It’s so pretty!” And right after she bit me and made me cry and she was done with her time out, she ran up to me and said, “I’m sorry, honey.” Aww. A few days ago I was feeding Ariana and she pointed to baby and my chest and said, “Baby Ana…eat…boob?” Haha. It’s so fun to see her trying to link the words together. I love my kids. Her age is my favorite stage. But I’ve said that with every stage of her life. But seriously. They just get cuter and cuter.
