Since school started in January, life has been crazy in the fast lane! I was tending kids Monday and Tuesday, school Tuesday night from 4:30-10:00, Wednesday I watch a little baby for an hour in the morning, Thursday is mommy and me dance class with Kassi, and then serving at a local stakehouse Fridays and Saturdays. Church and family time on Sunday, then start the week over again. I thought I could handle all of it, and really I could...and was. Kassi and Tyler were the ones that were suffering. I have noticed that Kassi has started behaving differently and I didn't like it. Solution...cut back!
I talked with my friend who I tended kids for, and she was very gracious and understanding. Within a week she was able to find a replacement for me so that I could spend more quality time with my kids. Kassi was starting to fight me during her dance class, and really not enjoying it like she used to. At first this made me so mad...we were supposed to be having a great time being together!! After thinking about it some more...why do I care? I signed her up for HER, if she doesn't want to do it yet, big deal! She's only 2 anyway...there are lots more opportunities down the road.
To make a long story short, we (kids and I) are doing a lot less these days. The kids are happier and I am not as stressed...so I am happier!
So here is Tyler. I opened the door to make sure he was in bed and not playing, and it took me a minute to find him! He is actually in his closet, underneath his shirts. Then he pulled the table right up to him, and closed himself in. I don’t know why he wouldn’t want to stay in him comfy bed, but it was so cute I had to snap a picture of it!
So much for the movie! I think they were attempting Wall-E. Obviously Kassi really did need a nap! I think Ricky was planning on a snooze from the start. Cute!
Tired daddy!
