The Best Behaved...

I have to agree with my sister in law Britney...I love my sleeping children sometimes more than the awake ones. They are on their best behavior when they are sleeping! In all honesty it's hard trying to hold a baby in one arm and a diaper bag and purse in the other and trying to chase your toddler around. Yesterday I went to Carls Jr. to get something to eat and let Aidan play around in their playground. When it came time to go...I am sure what people saw was quite the site to see. Here is a mother carrying a baby in his carseat in one arm, a purse in the other, two drinks, Aidan's leftovers, and Aidan. I will say that Aidan has been really good as of late. We went through a really rough patch there for awhile where Aidan would throw himself on the ground and scream if he didn't get what he wanted and it didn't matter if there was carpet or cement below him. At first I did do a lot of yelling and spanking which didn't seem to do anything. After much prayer (because I was on the verge of a nervous break down) I have found a new way to deal with these "terrible two's". I started putting him in time out even if he started to throw a temper tantrum and I would just give him lots of love those times he seems to just be having a bad day. Because my Heavenly Father is aware of me and my needs He has really blessed me, and Aidan has not thrown himself on the ground anymore. He is really trying to communicate with us using his words and has really started to listen to his parents when he is asked to do something. All in all, Aidan is a wonderful little boy who I love more and more everyday. Ethan is such a great baby and I am grateful to my father in heaven for always blessing me with so much and who continually answers my prayers.
