Can't stand being together....can't stand being apart


I am sorry for being away from blogging this weekend. I was really intending to get those posts out- but other things (like sleep and family dodgeball) took priority.
Last week I decided to give each of the older two some individual time to spend with me during Lincoln's nap. the plan was to spend 20 mins connecting with each of them seperately while the other one spent some time playing alone. Early on I realized that it was going to be harder than I thought. Despite allowing the "non mom time" child to watch a movie or play computer games they could not stay apart! Every couple minutes 1 or the other was coming or going to check on the other one. The picture is of how they decided to watch a movie the other day. Unfortunantely it is becoming more and more common that when they are together they fight and argue over everything! Hopefully we can get on top of that soon...
The Underwear Saga (maybe close to being over?!)
Deacon has 2 rules for underwear use:
1. You only need to wear underwear if your pants have a zipper
2. Underwear is to be worn backward so you can see the pictures
We have been trying to explain to him the uses of underwear and why it is beneficial and important (one of the main reasons being that his grandparents get freaked out over him going commando). He got some boxer briefs now and things seem to be going better. We'll see.
