Ten on Tuesday

1. So it's been ten days since I've posted, (my apologies). I'd like to promise that it won't happen again, but I'm pretty confident that it will.

2. Kelsea was TIRED tonight. It started at the chiropractor when she threw a tantrum when it was time to leave (yes she loves it there). It continued on the street when she kept running away from me when trying to get her in the car. She decided that since she didn't get her way, she would hit me. LOVELY! Once I started breathing again, I told her that she would go straight to bed, no dinner, no bath, no books if she did not say she was sorry for her behavior before we got home. (5 block drive) Well, sure enough right as we pull into the driveway she gives me a "sorry." 11 more mos and the "terrible twos" are over right?

3. Did I mention that Kelsea was TIRED tonight? After a bunch of fussing, crying and tantrums, during and after dinner, Wallis asked her if she wanted to go straight to bed (no bath time, no books). Well, she said yes "bed, bed, bed." So much for that one! Wiped her down with a wash cloth, put her jammies on, sung a couple songs, and down she went. Then she told me to "go Mommy."

4. Kelsea's favorite thing to watch right now is Mary Poppins. We have only had the movie for a month now, but I know we've seen it at least 20 times. I need to find something else for her to latch on to, because there is only so many times I can listen to Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

5. I guess we now know what Kelsea's favorite color is because she got to pick out her own potty on Sunday. She was so attached to that thing that it had to follow her wherever she went, but we put our foot down when she asked to take it to bed with her. It now resides in the bathroom.

6. I got a new debit card in the mail on Saturday and the expiration date is "3/31/10"...whoa! Even though 2010 is only 2 years away it seems like it should be years away!

7. We had family over last weekend for Christmas in February celebration, here's a couple of my favorites: Aunt Cindy, Mom, & Uncle Mark watching the sunset and having a glass of wine
8. Kelsea running around the sand, and Mommy running after her in hopes of at least one good photo.9. Kelsea ran up and down that life guard tower over & over again, luckily she didn't come crashing down flat on her face and that she stopped for a second so I could take a picture!10. Aunt Cathy and cousin Cari watching the view from above

I love that photo with her mouth open & will keep you in my thoughts hoping that Kelsea gets done with the terrible 2s quickly. And also hoping Johnnie & Joey decide they don't want to go through that phase ;-)

Do the terrible 2s end? Let me know if they do because in our house it changes a bit but they still remain. Like attitude takes over and sassing. We used 1-2-3 Magic with Mazie for the hitting thing. I recommend it and it works if you stay with it. We still use it for both of the girls with the above mentioned sassing! Great 10.
