Adjusting

11.28.2010

So far adjusting to life with 2 kids has proven to be a challenge. Brodie is having a difficult time adjusting to the changes and doesn't quite know what to make of his little sister. He has become very clingy and throws temper tantrums quite often (which is very atypical of him). He has been refusing naps and challenging us left and right. It is hard to see him struggling so much - it truly breaks my heart. I hope that he soon realizes that having a little sister is a good thing and that there is more than enough love to go around. Here are a few pictures from this past week.

(ignore the wonderfully styled hair - this was the first morning home from the birth center when Brodie and Ellie met for the first time)

(juggling two kids sure does take a lot of work)

(Here is Damon watching the kids...this is a self portrait he took...lol)

(Nap time has become particularly hard. On this day Brodie finally fell asleep on the family room floor after fighting me for almost 3 hours not to take a nap....guess this is what happens when you pull your kid out of daycare and bring home a baby simultaneously)
