Sometimes I wish I could go back and change things that I did when I was younger. In hopes of it making a difference in the payback that I am receiving from my very strong-willed, stubborn boys! (I say that very lovingly) Think it will work????
From the little things such as talking. Lord knows I did and still do my fair share of that! I didn't get the nickname lightening lips and motor mouth for nothing! Colton is just like me talk, talk, and more talk!! At first it didn't look as Pierce would follow in my footsteps. He seemed to be more like his daddy, laid back, not too much to say! HA, we were wrong. He is following in his momma and brother's footsteps, another motor mouth! Poor Ryan! I keep thinking if I apologize to my family for having to listen to my neverending talking when I was younger, it would help.. Guess what... NO it doesn't. I know they are learning and asking questions is all part of that, but man it would be nice sometimes to have some peace and quiet. oh well.. I love them!!
Then you got the extremely strong-willed and stubborn part of both of my boys! I still haven't figured out, why being "momma" is so different from being "daddy"! Its like day and night the responses I get from the boys vs. the responses that Ryan gets from the boys! It baffels me! Well actually, it drives me NUTS! I know I know in the past, I have been more of a push over instead of sticking to my word! Which is very hard for me to admit, but thats the first step right?? So now I am less likely to say "One more time"! Most of the time now, its I told you once now here are the consequences! Which of course the boys don't like. What child would? The problem I am having, even at the young ages they are, is teaching them that the way momma used to be isn't the way she is anymore! Its time to realize that I am serious and when I tell you something, I mean it!!! They still haven't figured that out. The question is when will they??? Even though alot of time I feel guilty afterwards.. shh...don't tell the boys that. It is still a transformation in progress! I am still hoping that it will get better!
On another note, this has been a very trying week. Ryan left Monday morning heading to New Mexico for a bomb class. So its just the boys and me for the week! And boy, Monday night really tried my patience! Which for those of you that know me, is not so great! ( also a transformation in progress ). The boys are missing Ryan and well they thing it is their time to show out! WRONG answer!! We did have a better night last night. Pierce wouldn't talk to Ryan when he called last night. I think he is mad at Ryan for being gone. He is very attacted to his daddy! Colton was excited to talk to him and tell him about his day! I was too, it was nice to talk to him and kinda forget about the fussing and fighting between the boys, the laundry that needed to be done, the dishwasher that needed to be unloaded and reloaded, supper, baths and all the fun stuff you do after you get home from work.
Colton is starting to read! To me that is sad. Just another sign that my oldest baby, isn't a baby anymore! They are growing up way to fast! He has already lost 2 teeth and has 2 more that are loose! He is dying for one of them to come out. He keeps telling me that it is ready. But its really not! He is wanting it to be out by the time that Ryan gets home Friday. Doubtful, but we'll see. You never know! My best friend pointed out to me not too long ago that schools are not teaching phonic anymore. We were taught phonic when we were in school. Which is not a good thing for Colton. Why? Because his momma was awful in phonics and still is! How am I suppose to help him sound words out and stuff like that, when I still have problems of my own in that department?? Thank goodness for Daddy! :) Who will also be the life saver when it comes to math! Another weakness of momma!
Pierce is still loving daycare/ K-3! He is starting to get to where you can understand him better, most of the time! There are still times that I have NO clue what he is saying. And boy does he get so mad when you don't understand. Thank goodness, Colton can sometimes understand him when momma and daddy can't! He has definitely reached that point where he doesn't want much help with anything! He love dressing himself (even if the shirt is on backwards), putting his shoes on, and everything else!! Sign of my baby not being a baby! He is quick to tell you that he isn't a baby, he is a big boy! He was nicknamed "Monkey" as a baby because he loved to climb! That still hasn't gone away! He will climb on any and everything! He isn't scared of anything. He can stand on the couch and do a front flip with no hands (not that we encourge it but...) and he can do the same on the trampoline at Grandmas! He is definitely my dare devil child!
Anyway, I need to get back to work. I just needed to vent and catch up on everything that is going on!
