Happy Monday
We had a good weekend, except Ashley fell - bad. We went out to dinner on Saturday night (which we need to do more often - Ash behaved so well and it was very nice) so as we were coming out, she wanted to walk - DH told me to let her go so I did..and she got walking a bit to fast and DH yelled her name, and when she turned to look at him, her feet kept going and she fell - hard. Her head bounced off the concret and my first thought was that she lost a tooth. Her nose was scraped and bleeding bad and she has scrapes and a knot on her forehead. I was very upset. I know it is the first of many but it really made me mad that DH wasn't paying closer attention.
Saturday at gym class we had our first real tantrum - they hang swings and each kid gets 10 swings because everyone should get a turn - well, when I went to take A out of the swing, she grabbed the ropes and wouldn't let go...and started screaming. I took her out and tried to distract her by taking her to another activity - nope - she threw herself down on the ground and screamed. I was so embarrassed because she was the only child acting this way. I just ignored her...and it passed - this can't be the terrible two's already, can it..she is only 13 months.
MIL and FIL came over for dinner yesterday - MIL bought A this huge pumpkin/scarecrow thing - it is taller than Ash - what the heck am I supposed to do with this? MIL is annoyed that I got A a costume for halloween - so she made it a point to say that she was going to get A her first snow suit and snow boats - whatever. We don't live in Alaska...so I gave her the One Step Ahead book and showed her a few of the things I had picked out - at least she can get her a nice set if she insists on buying it. She still isn't back to work even though the 100 doctors she has been to have found NOTHING wrong with her. She kept smoking and got mad because I asked her to wash her hands before playing with A.
I've agreed to let DH take me away for my birthday. I dont' want to leave Ash but I need to make my marriage and DH a priority, which I haven't done really since A arrived.
In other news, what is going on with our schools..why are children killing other children??? I am so sad that these things happen- and worried for the day when I will have to put A on a school bus.
