Sweet, Sweet Sunshine!

 Another sleepless night last night, topped with lots of screaming from Mr. D, and lots of tears from me. I really don't know what to do to get him past this, he isn't like most kids that give up after a while... He seriously will NOT give up (or just fall asleep from exhaustion). *Sigh* It's so frustrating and it breaks my heart and makes me feel like a failure as a mother for not getting him on a schedule or something. I really do not know how i'm going to deal with this and a new baby.

Especially because the past few days the screaming has crossed over into his assertions of independence as well, and when he doesn't get his way, he'll start to scream bloody murder, throw himself, etc. and WILL not calm down! :( He did it tonight while eating dinner because he put WAYY too much butter on his waffle and I took a knife and took it off because I'm sorry, but my child is not eating half a stick of butter on one quarter of a waffle (No joke that's how much was on it). Grama took over once she was done eating after I tried dealing with him, so that I could eat. He didn't calm down for her either. It's sooo frustrating I just don't know what to do to stop it, terrible two's don't even begin to explain it.

As for the rest of the day, it was amazing out, hit 60 this afternoon. D and I spent a lot of time outside, just hanging out. He ran around, we walked around the house to see all the animals, did the chores, visited the new calf (and mama), and I even had to chase D around a bit.. My do I ever feel it now. LOL, But, it was nice to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Tomorrow is supposed to be another gorgeous day so we'll probably do the same thing. Maybe i'll work on crocheting or something while i'm sitting on the porch.

D helped grama make apple pies today, he's a big fan of sifting flour (and making a mess with it). They turned out sooo yummy. Tomorrow she's making blueberry and maybe some other flavor(s), for the bake sale table at the churches dinner on Saturday. But we of course get to keep a blueberry and an apple :)

Heres to one more day closer to meeting Little Miss Cia, whenever that may be.

Oh and, I still hate St. Patty's day.
