Why does punishing our kids have to feel like we're punishing ourselves sometimes? I was looking forward to spending the afternoon with Mindi and Sydney at the Children's Museum...and so was Donovan, but he had a funny way of showing it. He decided to throw tantrum after tantrum this morning so I bit the bullet and called Mindi to let her know we wouldn't be joining them today. I don't know which of us is more upset, Donovan or me. Instead of spending the afternoon having fun, we get to spend the afternoon being grumpy together. I'm pretty sure I'm going to make him take a nap because some of his outbursts have ended in some pretty serious yawning. Wish me luck, and enjoy a few pictures...
Just over 8 weeks left and she's growing steadily!! Hopefully Donovan will be so wrapped up in being a big brother when she gets here that he'll forget how to misbehave.

well good job, as long as your consistent and follow through, right? cuz if you dont now you'll be punished more later, or somethin like that.
Bah. I wish Colin was too interested in Kate to misbehave. He's grown into quite the little rascal since Kate has been born. Of course, Kate has grown into quite the little brother-tormentor, so I guess it is all understandable. You look so ridiculously good that I'm not even going to comment on it. You'd just get a big head.
Oh it is so hard when you have to give up something fun to teach your kids a valuable lesson. Believe me I have done it so many times and it does feel more like punishment to mom! Your belly is so adorable you are so skinny every where else you look so great
Sorry he was grumpy. He looks adorable and the perfect child in the pictures. Yes, consequences stink when as a parent you have to stick to it as well. I always hated it when Sam grounded the kids (from playing with friends or tv)cause I was the one who had to endure while he was at work. Can't believe you are only 8wks away. Does the dr have any guesses how much the baby will weigh? You still look small.
