Ahhhh...the neglected "Me and My Boys" blog. It's already served its purpose (Beckett's first year), but it's nice to have a place for pure Hamilton-Beckett content. And there's plenty of that content, as it is my life right now. However, tonight I'll just write down a couple things from today...
* It's been a long week. I keep thinking it's Friday. *Sigh* Instead of a few times a week of maxed patience, I've been feeling it hourly. This makes for not good parenting and an unhappy stay-at-home mom. While I was getting the boys ready for bed, I started wrestling around with them, tickling them, and giving them "airplane rides." We were all laughing. Beckett was extra cute trying to cut in on Hamilton's turn. In the midst of that moment, I thought, "When was the last time I did this?" Too long ago. Maybe there's a reason this week has been a little tougher? Add "tickle and wrestle often to keep everyone happy" to my ever growing list of ways to improve my parenting.
*We had an HOA meeting tonight at our house. The boys, of course, would not go to sleep in time, so an inconsolable Beckett got rescued from his crib to join the meeting. Hamilton, predictably, crept to the stairs to see what was going on. Unpredictably he came out with his Mickey Mouse ears. Quite clever of him because it is very, very difficult--nay, I would say, impossible--to be mad at a little boy in sleepers and Mickey ears. He finally made it down as well, passing out cookies to everyone before finally taking one for himself. After the meeting, bedtime STILL wasn't happening, and somehow we all ended up watching an episode of Pushing Daisies together. That was probably bad, but they talk so fast and cleverly on that show, I'm sure they didn't catch on much. They are--just now--finally asleep, and I am hoping against hope that tomorrow morning does not bring super cranky pants out of that room. Luckily, though, it is actually Friday tomorrow!
