Patience

I think I'm losing mine. Before I had kids I never really thought of myself as having a lot of patience. Once I had Thomas, I was surprised with how much patience I actually had. Overall, I still think I have a lot BUT I've recently discovered that I have almost zero patience for whining and talking back. I think dealing with that has probably been the hardest part of parenting so far. Mainly because nothing really seems to help. I'm really hoping it's a stage that he will outgrow soon! I feel bad too because I think Thomas and Griffin are both bored. It's been so hot outside that we've hardly been out at all this week. I need to think of some new fun things to do inside.

Lucas is 8wks old today!! He's doing great! He has been sleeping all night until 8-8:30. He's having more awake time during the day and likes to watch his big brothers.

I agree about the whining...Evan already does it in his own pre-toddler, non-verbal way. Remember, never give in to the whining,right? It only tells them to keep doing it...like that's easy to do when you have a child driving you crazy and if only you gave him what he wanted he'd leave you alone! Maybe you should run some ADL groups at home on these hot days :-)
