Soooo Tired!!!

How can a round, short, cute 2 year old wear me out?? Very easily!!! That baby was so busy this weekend. He is cute as a button, picky eater, tantrum thrower, sweet, lovable little baby. His older brother played with my boys. We have an 8 yr old also. I love doing respite because you can really see the dynamics of your own family with the different ages of the children. I do think my first pick of babies and toddlers is right on. It's important for parents to know their limits, and to give much consideration to their own children. For my children, a younger toddler age child interacts well. A child the same age as my own children creates more adjustment. Could it work? Of course, with time. The 8 yr old we had would adjust fine, but my children would take longer. It's important to stick with your knowledge of your family dynamics. We would respite for these same boys again, they were so fun and really sweet kids. Now where does that leave me this Thanksgiving week??? Crazy, because I didn't do any of my Thanksgiving Day food shopping yet!!! So this week is nuts. But life is crazy anyway, right??
