Just Another Day in Paradise.....

That's a country song, but the song runs through my head about 1000 times a day! Don't get me wrong, I love my life and wouldn't change a thing (some sarcasm there!) but when I battle Will I can't help but sing that song. Lately, we have these random fits that are TOTALLY unexplainable. For instance: he asked for cereal with milk for breakfast. i gave it to him on the table, in his spot, and he cried. i asked him why, he said he wanted cereal...... the crying continued for about 3 minutes until I told him that if there was something wrong, he needed to tell me with his big boy words or else he would be spanked. HE STOPPED! It's so random and uncalled for, so I don't know what to do. I do baby him, I know that. But, he is just so overly emotional. Michael yells and then says he will spank and it usually stops so I guess I need to try to be harder on him -- but it is hard. He is only 2 but has the mental/physical capabilities of someone 3 or 4. It's frustrating. Today at church I just prayed to Mary to "help a sista' out!" Give me the insight into his sweet little head to make necessary changes to make our lives better! Let's hope we can figure something out!!! Any constructive input is welcome!
Xavier is eating an entire 2nd foods vegetable and a 1st foods prunes/pears twice a day. He loves it. He eats like he has been fed that way his entire life! He doesn't make a mess nor does he try to help! He truly is the most pleasant baby.....so sweet and happy! (he was 5 mo on the first and weighs 21lbs)
Clare is doing well. She has lots of friends and is just enjoying everything she does! We are starting to plan her birthday (not until May) but her favorite book was made into a play--Pinkalicious! It is here in Bloomington on her birthday! So, I am trying to talk with a few of her friends' moms to see if they could go~we will of course be wearing all pink, with our magic wands and lots of girliness :)
Well, enjoy your weekend, or what is left of it!
