I am once again enjoying a completely quiet afternoon. The little boys are napping, and thats to an enormous screaming breakdown from Laela that wiped her right out, she is also tucked away to bed. That is a definite pro to the stage she’s going through, of testing her boundaries and testing her mom and seeing how things are going to look. While I’m not loving this part of her being three, the rest of it is quite enjoyable. I don’t really like the stereotype about how bad three year olds are. Mine is seriously a peach 90% of the time. Probably even more than that. But when she’s acting out, its BIG.
I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t handle todays challenge well. Because of that, I am down, and tired. So we’re all taking our rests in our respective places, and I’m positive that we’ll reconvene soon enough with no love lost. But I am currently very thankful for the break from each other. There has been SO MUCH CRYING this morning, and I’m loving the quiet.
On that note, though, I’m going to revel in the quiet a little longer before it’s all over. We’re waiting on the delivery of some building materials that were supposed to come mid-morning. Now, they’re thinking it’ll be closer to 1:30, which is RIGHT in the middle of nap time. So my lovely quiet break will be over even sooner than necessary. Sad. But I’m thankful for it just the same. Any nap is better than none, for everyone!
