Falling flower petals

How many times have I used the word "cute" or "adorable" in this blog so far? It really only tells one side of the story...Of course my kids are cute, most of the time.



Life with two kids under the age of three isn't always kittens, and puppies, and sugar and spice....Toddlers run away from you when they need new diapers, they feel and show their emotions 110 percent. They throw, pinch, hit, cry, scream, and steal toys ....I roll with the 'punches' most of the time because, A. I have to and B. I'm used to it and I have learned how to anticipate and react (most of the time). Sometimes I just have to laugh it all off.
The great thing about Finley's new highchair is that it buys me a little time because she is learning how to feed herself, particularly cheerios. According to Ryanne, cheerios are 'baby food' and have become quite a novelty. I think she see's how much attention the baby gets around here, so why not also act like a baby? Finley plays, eats, laughs, plays and tosses the cereal all over her chair and floor, but Ryanne....she gets them all over the house. I CRINGE every time I step on one as it crunched under my foot and turns into a wheaty pile of ash. As of today, it has happened at least a dozen times. That ash either sticks to my foot and/or gets carried to other parts of the house. OMG! Perhaps I should start feeding Finley flower petals, so at least they would look pretty ALL over the floor. =)
