Choo Choo!

Where to start...it feels like forever since I've posted and I'm trying to remember what's been going on! Poor Miles, he's had a rough 2 weeks. Last week he didn't do well at school nearly every day. I think on Friday he finally had a good day. Then he was fine on Monday and had a really rough day on Tuesday and Wednesday. The daycare actually called me on Tuesday to come in and talk to him. He'd been up front twice before 11:30am-kicking, screaming, hitting. Not good at all. So I went and talked and he seemed a bit better by the time I left. Or so we thought. He was up front again during nap time. Then yesterday, they called and asked we come pick him up. He was just out of control. Ahmad went and got him and he sat the rest of the day. He fell asleep for several hours, but there was no TV, no toys, and he went to bed at 7:30. He had a good day today! Yea! I've been thinking for the last few days that I wanted to open that bottle I posted about earlier...pretty rough. And the hard part is finding the balance between disciplining him and empathizing with him. At one point, he did tell me that he was mad and me and Ahmad because we were playing with Hailey a lot. Ouch. We try to always include him and spend time with him too, but I guess we need more. So, we decided to spend more one on one time with him and of course had a nice long talk. I think he has a lot going on in that little head of his. He's getting used to Hailey now and realizing that she's here to stay; she's mobile now and getting into more things and can't 'sit and play' with him like she used to-she's always on the move!; our time is divided; he's learned some not so good behaviors at school and now has to learn why he can't act that way; and plus, he's 3! A lot to adjust to. We just have to help him the best way we can. I hope he does better.


Hailey being a cutie pie


Somewhere along the way, we took a walk and played at the neighborhood park....



(notice the backwards pants!)


Hailey ate real bananas...or at least attempted to eat them

Over the weekend, we had a great time! Saturday, we had pictures taken at JC Penny's for Hailey's 6 month photos. Of course we had some taken of Miles as well. They turned out SO cute! I love them and can't wait to get them next week. I wish I'd ordered a few things differently, but I think we'll be ok. Then we had lunch at the mall and let Miles play on the playland. When we got home, Miles and Ahmad left and headed to the Motor Speedway for some father/son time while Hailey and I headed to a baby shower for a friend I used to work with. It was a good day!



Miles kisses the bricks!



Choo choo! All aboard!




I'd take her anywhere!


Then on Sunday, we enjoyed a nice evening with the Klein family. Thank God for good friends!


Just enjoying our time and trying to do what's right...
