Dog days of......

Spring, it's not officially summer yet I have already gone to the library to hide form this heat.  We met up with a friend from school today, really wishing it was at a park where their crazy kid behavior would not be noticed.  Oh well it was cool the kids had a great time :)

Do Wishes Come True?

Well of course they do I explained again.  I didn't want Ethan to lose the magic as we strolled through the streets of Disney world.  He looked more upset with each time he ask if Wishes came true and I confirmed that they did.  He was almost in tears, I lowered to talk to him to find out what his dreams were that would make him that upset.  He looked up at me and said no mom I said "do witches come true....... so Ya I tried to convince him that the horrible witch Meleficent really does come true.
OOPS

Mornings

She woke up this morning in tears, legs kicking and arms flailing.  There are many mornings like this.  Maybe it's bad dreams, maybe she just needs time to wake up I'm not entirely sure.  I have to refrain from letting my emotions getting all tangled up with hers.  Hers will calm down in a moment or two and there is very little for me to do.  If I involve myself, it lingers, elevates even so I try to understand what she is crying about in hopes that there is a bit of comfort I may give.  This morning it was devastating that a footprint project that is hanging on the wall at the gym, is well, hanging on the wall at the gym.  At first I thought it was her crib that she was crying for and that was going to be a problem as it went out with the trash the morning before or was that two mornings ago?

3 on the Third

I've been wanting to do this for a couple of years now, but seeing as I have way more laundry to do now and this mom thing I signed up for is way more intensive then the brochure indicated.  I don't get around to doing all the things I want to do.  Here are the last two months.....
