the joys of parenthood

So today was not the best. At around 8:45am Isaac earned himself a nap for back talking which is always fun. At 3pm we went to the YMCA where I exercise and the boys have a blast in the playroom. Well, usually I hear comments like, "your boys are so great" or "I wish I could take your boys home." Not today. Today I walked in to one of the staff telling me that Lincoln had to sit in the time-out chair. Oh jeez. What happened. He told a little boy that he had a fat tummy. Great. We've been working on this at home. We don't say that because it makes people feel sad. It's not nice, etc. Apparently none of that soaked in because Lincoln told the lady that "my mom says it's nice." Better luck tomorrow

Oh Anna- what a crazy day! I miss you! I'm SOOOO GREEN with envy that Cheryl gets to hang out with you all the time. Please try to think of me every once in a while. :) Love!

That's a good one: him saying you're behind it all. Emily kept asking her aunt why she's so fat. We had to also try and drill into her head that comments like that aren't nice. You gotta love it.

I guess I don't want to hang out with any of your kids (Amy and Anna) for fear they will ask me why I am so fat :) Just kidding. Sounds like a fun day for you. I love when Time Out happens early in the morning! Makes for a fun day for everyone. Hang in there.

Aren't kids fun?! Don't forget to write this in their baby books or journals - You never know when you'll need some blackmail material :) Hope to see you one of these days. love you!
