I hate to jinx it this early in the summer but so far, my summer is rocking!! I created this bucket list of things to do over the summer. After I completely overdid it the first week with the kids trying to cross things off left, right and center, I decided I needed to stick to one big trip a week. There's no chance I'll finish the bucket list but it gives us some ideas when we're stuck trying to think of things to do in the morning.
Anyhow, that's not the point of this post. The point of this post is to give a shout out to my awesome little boys. They drove me freaking mental for a good part of the year. They fought like cats and dogs and at least every 30 seconds I was breaking up some fight or mediating an argument or some stupid disaster between them. To say it drove me bat@(* crazy, is an understatement!
But somehow, now that the sun is out and we don't have many deadlines to meet, the kids are happy to sit and play with each other....for hours!! Like 3 hours at a time sometimes! I know, right??? I mean, I literally don't need to intervene for LIKE THREE WHOLE HOURS!!!!!!
That's a far cry from the 30 seconds a few months ago!
I think a major part of it is that Small has stopped growing. My kids grow, they turn into monsters. Add in the inability to control his emotions and Small is unbearable! But, he must have grown up a little the last month or so. He doesn't turn into a crying mess when I turn off the TV anymore. In fact, he turns it off for me!! He has figured out the value of sharing his toys with his brother and playing nicely.
It's a little slice of heaven in my world :) Just to see the boys playing happily together and enjoying each other's company makes that disaster of a second pregnancy so worth it :)
Small's sure going to miss his brother in Sept when he's in Kindergarten!! Although, I'm sure I'll miss him, too:)
