goodness...

How time flies.

Things have been turned on their ear and back again. The little Chickadee was born June 21. She is a wonderful, happy baby. Cooing and smiling all day long. Of course there are fussy times, but not like I remember with the pickle. How much is parental experience and how much is child temperament.

The Pickle loves his sister, loves getting wet kisses from her and dying to snuggle up with her. We must watch closely or he will smother her with his love.

The terrible two's are upon us, as are fights over potties, toys and you name it. My favorite quote from him during a fit was after I said "You want a power struggle, we'll have a power struggle" and him replying with tears "I want a power struggle"!

I've been back to work now, third week in. It is difficult. The kids are in great hands at home, but not my hands. While I sit here at this desk and wait for the time to pass. Work is non existant for now. It makes for a long day.
