Everyone told me boys were more work than girls when they were young. I told them there is no way boys can be harder than my girls because my girls were as rough and tumble as any little boy could be. Or so I thought. Enter the twins, boys! And then because God has a great since of humor they have a little brother who is only 18 months younger than them. OMG!!! I can't tell you how many lamps I've had to replace. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is safe in this house. Love those boys, but eating my words is the pits.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936457936026961949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-42783875755830610832009-10-05T12:46:15.780-05:002009-10-05T12:46:15.780-05:00My oldest is only 2 years old and not very dramati...My oldest is only 2 years old and not very dramatic yet....but give it time....and my 6 month old boy loves bath, cause he's a baby LOL <br /><br />I gave you a bloggy award! www.mamadweeb.com thanks for being so funny, honest and fuN!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483641233177919179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-45409316096538476882009-10-05T12:43:58.619-05:002009-10-05T12:43:58.619-05:00Parenting is really hard!

I feel I haven't done something right. I also have an 11mo DD who has started cuddling toys, instinctively it seems. I cuddle her but I don't cuddle my coffee cup.

Much to my sis's glee, I have literally stuck my foot in my mouth on almost every single thing I ever said I would never do or I didn't agree with. <br /><br />It's just different when it's your own.
