Oh terrible two's....why have you arrived at my house early? And uninvited at that! Owen has welcomed you into our home and he has become a liability when we go out in public!!
I went downtown to the courthouse to file our mortgage stuff from our re-fi and Owen screamed bloody murder the whole time!! I'm not exaggerating people! And the courthouse echos! Finally a lady in the office felt so bad for me, she came out and got my paperwork for me and worked on it while I kept him outside. Not one of my finer moments.
Then we stopped at the post office to get stamps and Owen walks in with a huge smile on his face and an old man comes up and says "I bet he never stops smiling!"
Yeah, he's smiling!! He made his mother look like a complete idiot! That's enough to make any two year old smile! I keep trying to remind myself that Preston was like this too, but my memory fades so quickly when it comes to bad things!! That's why I keep having children....hoping the next one will be our golden child. They say third times a charm right??
On the other hand we have Preston who just turned 4. He has finally calmed down. It's a good thing because you would need to visit me in the Looney Bin if both kids decided to be terrible together!! Preston is loving preschool. He is a typical boy though and stays hush hush on what's he does there. I always ask and he always says "We did nothing." What a boy!
As I go along on this mothering journey, I am beginning to realize that there are peaks and valleys. It's the peaks that get you through the valleys. Last night Preston and I had our first "date." I took him to our Fall Festival in downtown Noblesville and we ate hot dogs and chips and pop(Preston declared it was the best meal ever!) and went on a hayride and did a little trick or treating. It was definitely a peak for me that I needed. To be reminded of the little people they are who are just wanting to be shown some love and attention. And to show us how great they are!
I know Owen's time will come....but I'm just not there yet!! :)

You are so funny! I love reading your blog. Thanks for your honesty and insight!
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no vally low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
No wind, no rain
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
