Well, I'm finally updating this blog! I took a break because I wasn't taking many pictures. Nigel was gone for 2 weeks straight and let me tell you - it was 2 weeks I would like to erase from memory :) Needless to say, it was rough. I would choose to never do it again, however, Nigel will again be at academy for 2 weeks straight starting on Monday, February 23rd, which just so happens to be my birthday. Boo-hoo :( I just hope it goes smoother than the last time :) Anyway - the reason for the awful time - Caden decided to become a 3 year old, which I believe is so much worse than 2! Whoever said terrible 2's hadn't gotten to 3's. I've dubbed 3's the tortorous 3's. Honestly. Caden, overnight, became defiant, argumentative, and just naughty. It was an incredible transformation that we have been working on. But, my goodness, I never knew to which level someone so small could push me! I spent several days just trying to figure out what happened, and then I got serious. Things changed and rules got stricter. We made it through, barely, but I know that there will be more to come. He's testing his limits and pushing and trying to figure out where and with what he has authority. Whew, it's exhausting. Especially when 7 1/2 months pregnant and alone! I don't reccommend this combination :) The following pictures represent how each and every day went.
One minute happy:
The next minute, this face would show up. I know, I know, it's kind of cute in the picture, but trust me, it wasn't cute.

Oh yes...the three year old face. Can't get enough of that one (Actually I can and am totally over it)
The good news is that it DOES come and go. But--when it comes....YIKES!
Today Alivia was pretty darn perfect. I have learned to appreciate EVERY SECOND of these such days!
Don't worry, your sweet boy is still in there, and he will be back! :)
I agree the twos are nothing compared to the threes. They seem to be more in tune to how to push the buttons at three. I'm hoping four will be much smoother.
