Well this is going to be a post full of randoms. I have been meaning to write much sooner but in classic Nicole form, I have been putting it off. I haven't been doing this for very long but I know that once I finish a post I feel this sense of accomplishment. Whether the post was pulitzer prize material doesn't matter to me. It just feels good to get some thoughts down and makes me reflect a little on how I can handle things differently in my house. Whether it was a great week or not. I'm sure I can always use a little reflection.
This last week has just been kind of weird. I feel like I have done a lot of yelling of my 2 little ones and nitpicked and grew very annoyed of my older daughter and my husband John. It seemed like everything the big people in this house did just got on my nerves. Charley got yelled at more this week because he is just sweet and full of energy at 3.........but gosh darn it does he have to dump every bucket of toys out and then drag things from room to room. Also, getting into anything that he is not supposed to the minute my back is turned or I happen to be on a 5 minute phone call during the day. Geesh! But I promise to make more one on one time with him this next week and work on projects with him.
Jack, Jack, Jack. I have really lost it on him this week. I feel like the worst mother in the world with him right now. Last year we had him tested for autism and he did not fit on their spectrum so that is good, right? Well, he did fall a little bit below developement wise. About a year. So okay, potty training for him was late but now that is great. He can even stay dry overnight. The thing with him right now is going number 2. He has not done that in the toilet since last July when we were at my parents house. Otherwise it is usually at night. Sometimes we don't find it until morning and the poor weird kid has slept in it all night. How can he sleep like that? I know all the books say not to shame your kid about this or they will be messed up forever. I am just getting tired of rinsing out disgusting underwear everyday and cleaning up a large 5 year old child. And why is he doing this? I know he can do it on the potty. We have seen it or was it a dream. I am not sure anymore. This last week though I went crazy and took all of his beloved books away and told him he can have one back everytime he poos in the potty. I'm afraid to say that none of this was said or done lovingly. I was mad and I shouldn't have let him see me that way. I am just at such a loss on this one. :((((
We have had some good times this week. Art prize is going on right now downtown so we headed out there on Sunday. We didn't get to see even half of the stuff but it was still fun. We randomly ran into these people.

Also, today was the 3rd week of Charley's sports sampler at the Y. Today was floor hockey. I think he liked it but it is kind of hard to tell he doesn't follow direction very well and would rather sit by me and watch. But he sure is cute :)
So here is to this week going smoother............less yelling, drinking(might have been me)more fun and planned activities. And above all patience with Jack and his bowel issues. We will overcome this him and I and I will not shame him again.
