G update

Wow. You posters certainly came out yesterday.

Thank you for all of your "hang in theres". I NEED them!

Sooooo, I wanted to share that as I was changing G's diaper this morning, a little voice inside me tells me to check in his mouth. So, I did. I spot 2 bottom red and puffy/swollen gums in the back of his mouth. You can even see some ridges where those pesky molars are trying to pop through.

Ahhhhhhhh. It's not me!

I remember Allie going through the 2 year molars thinking it would NEVER end and I would NEVER get my sweet little girl back. Luckily, I was wrong. It did end, and for the most part, she is still sweet!

So I wait, hoping G's teeth come through soon, because he is wearing the heck out of me!!!!

Allie and I are off to Greenville for the night leaving G and S back home.

I welcome this break!

The not so good side of G

G is two. And terrible.

He has a very sweet, fun, silly side to him. But lately, I feel like I'm seeing more of the terrible come out in him.

Because of his behavior (tantrums thrown for not getting to push a button, having to share something with his sister, being looked at wrong, etc...) we have started taking away "things".

Things being his favorite snugnuts and stuffed animals...which we display front and center on the mantle in the family room where he is constantly reminded there are consequences to his behavior.



This was the scene when G woke from his nap and remembered he did not have his snugnuts. He sat in his bed carrying on like this for about 45 minutes until he finally calmed down.

I love my boy. But he is more of a challenge for me compared to his sister.

The snugnuts and monkey were returned to Gabe the following morning.

Judging from the past couple of days, I don't anticipate these things to be in G's possession very long. For once, I'm hoping I am wrong.

3/52

Theme: Shades of Grey

Double Bedhead

S grumbled slightly as I was taking this photo of he and G. The two of them were watching football together and had just woke from their Sunday afternoon naps (bedhead and all).

I reminded him that 99% of the photos I take end up sitting on my hard drive with nobody ever seeing them.

Buuut, I happen to like this photo of my boys. This is them...and what a typical Sunday afternoon looks like - a lazy afternoon spending time with our family.

Project 52

My mother-in-law introduced to me the idea of Project 365. Basically, you post a photo a day for 365 days.



This is a bit much for me, so have opted for a less ambitious, Project 52. A photo a week.



This I can handle!



I joined a group on Flickr - MCP Project 52. They give out suggested themes and you post your photos. Easy right?



I realize if you check my blog, you have seen these photos. But, to catch you up:



1/52

Theme: Around the House
Item: Piano





2/52

Theme: Illustrate a Song
Song: Baby it's cold outside

Check back later in the week to see 3/52, theme Shades of Gray.

Redfish

Meet Redfish.

He became a proud Patton on Allie's birthday, Jan. 3.

Now, let's all have a moment of silence to honor the little fish that was a part of our family for a whopping 7 days.

Gonna miss you red. Float in peace.

War Eagle on my mind...

A couple of pics from the snow today.

But, my mind is far from this snow.

I'm starting to get anxious about the game tonight. Excited. Nervous. Impatient.

S and the guys are already at the stadium tailgating. I'm feeling the energy here....I can only imagine being there at the game. Have fun babe.

WAR EAGLE!
