The baby who never sleeps....
he is sweet and adorable, smiley, and wonderful
but when he wants to "start his day" at 4:30
this makes for a tired Mama & Daddy
Of course I am being a wee bit dramatic
he sleeps :)
and he sure is cute, cute, cute when he does.
Look at those chubby cheeks!
And of course no post would be complete without a little Mackenzie James :)
Even with the code 42 (severe behavior for those non-education people out there) label he received this year in Kindergarten - I really think we actually did something right with our favorite six year old. He is kind, and funny (hilarious really), and he doesn't know how to be mean yet (which I LOVE) he shares with his sister, and desperately wants the most unpleasant boy in his class to be his friend. I am not saying he is perfect, I know there are blog readers out there who think that is what I am saying, he's not....but I really like him just the way he is.
He is the best big brother to his sister. He is so patient with her. One morning last week, Matea was digging in her heels with EVERYTHING. She was quite scream-y, and by 8:00 am (we have to leave for school by 8:15) I was losing my patience. Holding three different shirts, a skirt, and two pairs of pants her and I could not even find a common ground on what she was going to wear to school that day....and we hadn't even tackled her hair (that is a post all on it's own).
So out of sheer frustration (after asking her the same thing a bazillion times) I yelled (not my proudest Mama moment feel free to judge me)....
"I don't know what you want!!! What do you want!!! Just tell me what you need!!!"
And what did my little code 42 pipe up and say....
"Uh mommy....she needs love, she needs a hug"
*that's what we say when someone is sad or upset, "Do you need love?" I guess it's like asking if someone wants hugs or cuddles*
Yeah I feel okay about saying we did a good job.
And Matea and I were late for school that day, Mack was right, she needed some love.
