Did I metion a few weeks ago how far we had come with Joel? Um yeah, I think we've had a little setback. 2 very long and difficult days with him have left us a little discouraged. This day started off with him coming into my bedroom and breaking my glasses in half. Not my $20 sunglasses, my expensive prescription eyeglasses that I wear every day for several hours. And yes, this occurred about 5 seconds after I asked him to hand them to me so they didn't get broken. It's only noon and it's been one tantrum after another. I can't quite seem to get a handle on the situation right now. I'm putting him down for a nap (we'll hope for success) and then Zac is taking him out for some "special time" in which they will take a little hike and have some serious conversation about home life. This is so hard.
Jesse has also entered a new phase of disobedience and tantrums. I know that for him it is a normal developmental thing as he becomes more independent and tests his boundaries. We are all over this and I'm actually glad it's happening before the baby comes. Did I already say that being a parent is hard? Sorry this is a sad blog, chalk it up to pregnancy hormones and strong-willed children.
