What a day, what a day

Today has been quite the day. I have been stressed to the max. It seems as everything that my kids could do wrong, they did. They weren't up for listening to me today. Its been horrible. But, I also found myself raising my voice at them more and more. By, the end of the night tonight I was pretty upset. I just decided to do a post on the things that make me smile about my children. This might help me be a little more positive towards them in the morning when they awake.

RYLEE

I love Rylee so much. I love the fact that when she wake up in the mornings- she has the craziest hair I've ever seen, and she just giggles at it. Usually, the firs thing out of her mouth, its I wanna see my crazy hair and she wants me to lift her up to see in the mirror. I love that she is all girl. She loves her nails painted. She loves make up. She loves to dance. She loves to sing. I love how smart she is. She is always wanting to learn. I love how she tries so hard to be a little mommy and take care of Boston. Most of all, I love her kisses and hugs. I love when she says Mommy come Suggle (snuggle) me in my bed. PUHLESEEE? I love that she is attached to her piglet, and freaks if anyone or anything besides her touches it. I love when she plays dress ups, or when we play house together. I love that she adores her big brother so much- she is all girl, but just as much as a little rugrat, tomboy. She will come in from playing outside as dirty as the boy next door. She loves the dirt, the mud, and running barefoot in the street (which results in black feet) She got the running around barefoot from me :) I love that she is my girl. I love that she thinks her name is Rylee Jane instead of Rylee Kezia. She cries if I call her Rylee Kezia and informs me that she changed it to Rylee Jane. When I say why not Rylee Kezia, she says I'll change my mind tomorrow- but when tomorrow comes, its still Rylee Jane :) I love that when I tell her no, she says in a minute? No. Maybe in a little bit? No. Okay, maybe tomorrow? She likes to press it to the very limit. Shes my girl. I love you Rylee Bug. I will always be your mommy, if you will always be my little pig tailed, snotty nose, make wearing, toe nails painted, pink loving, mud rolling, sand box playing little girl. :)

Mr full of it Ashton. I love him to bits and piece, although somedays I wonder why ;) He is my hyper little boy. I love how he seems to be so independent, but still needs to to cuddle him for "just 5 minutes"each night. I love his prayers (thank you for paint....bless the dirt outside) I love how we spend each afternoon cuddling on the couch watching a movie while the 4 (daycare kids included) little ones sleep. I love how he is so sweet and *extra* careful with Boston. He is bound and determined to teach Boston how to crawl, walk and talk, because he is the big brother. Its a brother bond they have, he was never like this with Rylee. I love how smart he is. I love his goofy personality. I love his smile. I love how he would play with playdough all day if I let him. He is so creative, and can come up with some pretty neat stuff. I love how he has a love for baseball, just like his daddy. I love that he LOVES to help me out in the kitchen, and make huge mess with me. He is my special helper. He is also so good at putting away towels and kitchen rags. I love his bond he has with Rylee- he looks out for her :) I love how he comes and crawls in my bed in the morings, just to cuddle until the rest of the family wakes up, and when he has a bad dream, (or pees the bed) he always comes to my side of the bed, (which is the farthest from the door). Even when I am dead tired, its nice to know that I bring him comfort. I love his imagination. Ash, I love you. I am sorry I get so frusterated with you. I will always be your mommy and love you forever :)

Litte B man :) How I love you. You don't make me upset or mad....yet, I am sure you will oneday :) I do however, wish you would crawl! I know you want to, and you are so close, you get so upset and frusterated with yourself. Don't worry buddy, I will keep trying to help you out. Thanks for being patient with your siblings. They really do love you, they just like to maul you and hold you and hug you. You are a good baby. I love you so much. Sleep tight little one!
