My sweet angels....from heaven above.

Here are a couple pictures I took of the kids today. Aren't they getting big?

Livers is turning two in 10, that's right 10 days. With that said, I'd swear that she's BEEN 2. Let's see....what is she doing now that I'm hoping she soon outgrows....Well, for starters, she won't eat ANYTHING. Okay, well she'll eat like three things. But that's it. Luckily, I remember Andrew going through this phase, and he outgrew it, so I know she will too. In the meantime, I feel like a negligent mother who never nourishes her child. Maybe I should start breastfeeding her again.....Oh, that's right. Those darn pesky moral issues creeping up on me again! If she's old enough to ask for it, she's too old. Check. - AND "No" is her standard answer to everything. And she shakes her arms all around to further prove her point. I try to prentend I'm 'doing the hula' with her, but that only pisses her off even more. (Sigh..) I love her, I really do. Just some days, I tell ya! But, isnt' she cute?????



Now - Andrew is 5 and smart as ever. And smart mouthed as ever...I know, "Someday, he'll grow to be a blah, blah, blah...." But for now, I find myself being sucked into these arguments with him and I don't want to argue with him. He's five. FIVE GOING ON 15. But he's not all the way there. He's still sweet and affectionate. I hope that never goes away. He can melt my heart into a PUDDLE when he wants to. And lucky for me, he wants to usually two or three times a day. He still leaves me love notes all over the house. When he's sleeping, I'll go into his room and leave him one for the morning.



Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I'm discussing. Granted, it is with a computer screen, but somewhere, somehow, someone will read this and maybe, just maybe think to themselves that they feel the same way for thier kids. Crazy, intense love with a strong desire for temporary relief! Glass of wine, anyone? Cheers!
