Easier
This past week has been a lot better. I wouldn’t say that the kids have been easier to deal with, but I think I’m enjoying them a lot more. Eden has been SO funny. Last night we were at Target and I was letting her look at toys so I could get a better idea of what she wants for her birthday. I’ve been planning for awhile now to get her a Cabbage Patch Kid, so I let her look at which one she would like. She dismissed them and every other toy I showed her, “That’s cool mom, I want a Barbie.” Jim started showing her other toys and she just told him, “Daddy, I need a Barbie.” I explained to her that she needs to wait until she’s bigger to have a Barbie (there’s no reason to jump ahead of things, she’s only going to be 3) and she seemed to be ok with it. It’s amazing what television advertising can do to kids.
Honor has started saying a lot more in the last day. He says Papa, Cheese, Please, Juice and Daisy (the dog). It makes it easier to make some progress with him. I actually feel like I’m finally getting through to him.

I’m glad you had a better week. It’s nice when you can have these times to exhale and relax enough to pee.
After a week of Thomas waking up at 4:30 in the morning, I could go for one of those myself.

I’m glad to hear that at least this past week was better for you :)
I have to block two squares and then they’ll be in the mail – tomorrow for sure (2/1). I can’t wait to see what the scarves turn out to be like.
And I made some lip balm too! I’ll send you a tube when I send my squares. Tell me if the shea butter worked out.
