I felt the same way (the, "oh crud...what have we done") but Lizzy was meant to be in our family just like Rustin was meant to be in yours. So precious. And, if I know you at all, Ryder is a well-mannered and respectful boy already. No need to worry. :-)Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853053297470131425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592259876541168153.post-35108835068673026592009-10-07T21:00:51.336-05:002009-10-07T21:00:51.336-05:00Yes very good observations and all very true for m...Yes very good observations and all very true for me as well. The talking to yourself is I'm sorry to say only going to get worse!!<br /><br />It's part of my routine to plan in my head what the ideal situation will be as well as worst case scenario. Then anything in-between inevitably brings a little laughter which helps me get past the stress of the unexpected.<br /><br />Because as you know, the unexpected now rules our days. The getting them in the car and start unloading them only to discover someone has pooped out of their diaper and into their carseat...and I forgot wipes...and I forgot my purse...and well I'm sure you can relate.<br /><br />You're doing so good figuring this stuff out and finding the joy in raising two little ones that can't always say, "THANK YOU MOM!" They are appreciative of you! <br /><br />And the getting up in the night thing? <br /><br />Girl, you're a NUT! lolMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813295035979677215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592259876541168153.post-29216864297781995542009-10-07T18:19:57.482-05:002009-10-07T18:19:57.482-05:00I love these Joy!

Tatum has been a baby that just wants to be left alone (ie: when she's tired, I'd better lay her in her bed asap and leave her the heck alone). It has made me sad...thinking back to the night feeding days that are so sweet and tender. Thankfully, NOW, she is becoming a cuddle bug again and I get at least 2 minutes of Tatum love when I lay her down for naps. (While her brother is doing WHO knows what downstairs!) <br /><br />And the toys!? What is UP with the big boys' fascination? Trevor is now being re-introduced to his walker toys... which renders them absolutely useless to his sister- she can't get her hands on them! <br /><br />We should plan a day to meet up... not like tomorrow or anything...just whenever you feel up to it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
