Oh Boy...

It's the end of the day and I'm exhausted! I'm whining, definitely, but I feel like my two minutes of whining has been earned. The day is non-stop from the moment I open my eyes and peak at the monitor hoping they are both soundly asleep, but knowing at least one of them will be raring to go before I am:) And I never know what I'm going to find. Will Skyler wake with a smile and the urge to be cooperative? Or will he be ready to shoot down everything I say with tears or whining. Is Sadie up wayyyy before she should be and I know she'll be a cranky face by 9, exactly when we have to run out to get Skyler to school, so only a car nap is possible? Whatever they throw my way, I try my hardest to work with it. Today, Skyler was in the whiny sort of mood...and he whined about EVERYTHING I did or offered to do. Seriously?? Do we HAVE to whine about ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING?? Apparently. But I have to say he was a fabulous big brother today, minus the occasional pushes or jabs when he thought I wasn't looking. Sadie is actually the first one to get annoyed with him. Sadie had a day where she was testing her skills. Stairs? no problem.... pulling up on furniture that isn't sturdy? no problem... teaching me multitasking? yes:) How fast can I wash Skyler's hands, empty the containers, and catch Sadie before she falls down the steps? But I have to say, I love all this craziness and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Sadie pulling herself up on her walker. I realize that this shouldn't be a big deal for a 14 month old, but it's pretty darn momentous for our baby girl.

And away she goes! Skyler was climbing with her:) (excuse his pants falling down)

I don't know why but I love this picture!

She made it to the top! The first of a zillion trips today:)
