Tantrums...Luv Um? Hate Um?

Well, I LOVE them. (Of course not at all, but just for conversations' sake),I find it gives me some personal time to sit down for a change(in the other room). Especially when we're in the "red zone", and there's no point of return. There is no other solution I can possibly come up with (and working with children of ALL types for my entire adulthood has given me no imagination with this) except to simply walk away. I keep calm just fine if I can detach myself physically and mentally. Preston has more of a do-something-about-it mentality. I think it is just being a man, and feeling as though there should be a solution for everything, and definitely a solution that he can bring forth. Well, my solution is to dust my hands of the unsolvable mess, relax, and ride out the storm...now days, these storms are a good 20-30 minutes at best, and about, oh, a bajillian times a day. Well, I may be exaggerating a tad. She's only 20 months old. How hard can this really be?

Nothing New Update

Life is the same as usual. Preston and I are constantly working , but we it only makes having the time together even better. Amelia speaks two word sentences now (go milly bug!). Mostly it is "no,(fill in the blank)". Every once and a while we get a "more please", or "Hello mama". Thrilling. Well, we hope to go see 'Grand Doty' next weekend, and to see their new additions, their three donkeys. We want to see Sipsey too...she's been staying with them for a few months now, and I think she has such a better quality of life there.

Preston's parents are coming this way in a couple of weeks, and we always look forward to that. Thet haven't seen Amelia in while, so it should be a great visit.

Party at Lily's House!

New Trike!

Well I saw this tricycle in a second hand store in perfect condition and had to get it. She is way too small and uncoordinated to get it YET, but I think she will be wizzin' around the hallways and lobby so soon.
