Looking back through my Wordless Wednesday posts (that are never, ever actually wordless) made me realize how much I enjoy being able to easily scroll back through my favorite photos and catch a quick glimpse of our lives. So I’m going to try to make it a habit to share a peek into week each Wednesday.
I know, I know. Halloween is long gone and people already have their Christmas trees up. But, can I share another Halloween photo anyways? I was browsing through my photographs and this one was begging me for a quick edit and to be shared. This little girl is beginning to settle down a bit. She’s still fiesty and a little fireball, but she has such a sweet and kind heart. She loves to talk about Brynlee and give her kisses. She wakes up every morning and crawls into bed with me if I’m not already up. She’ll either drift back off to sleep in my bed or we’ll spend a while chatting and cuddling. Her new thing this week is to bring her detangler spray and a hair brush and brush my hair while I’m still in bed. She melts my heart and I cannot wait to see her with her little sister.
This boy is so hard to parent right now. I’m feeling tested 24/7 and it seems like it came out of nowhere, but I know that he is probably feeling the stress of a new baby coming- another sister, at that- and he isn’t sure how to communicate his feelings. I’m trying to cut him some slack and offer more positive attention, but he’s not making it easy. This parenting thing is hard sometimes. And he’s not even 5 yet. He’s a lot like me in that he is very nervous when he isn’t sure what to expect, so I think that has a lot to do with it. I’m hoping to spend a lot of time with him (and Bella) during the next couple weeks and hopefully ease his anxiety.
Happy Wednesday!
Your children are precious!
I’m so glad it’s Wednesday. I’m looking forward to the weekend!
What cute kids! I love little miss spiderman!
They are adorable children, but I totally understand the feeling of being overwhelmed with one child in particular. It happens – they each seem to go through phases of being ‘easy’ and then ‘difficult.’ His time will come (((hugs)))
I love scrolling back through the years of wordless Wednesday posts as well, it’s amazing how fast our children all grow up! Your kids are just so cute! These harder phases can be so tough but you all will get through it!
Oh they are so cute.
It seems to me that the bigger my kids get the bigger the problems, so just wait:)
Such cuties!
My oldest started to develop his attitude at about 5 … he is 9 now and he still wears the attitude well. We have days where we butt heads BIG TIME and other days where he is an angel.
Great shots. My ww is never wordless either. Then again I hardly am either, lol
Nice pictures.. I find it very difficult to not have words in my WW too.. so they are Never wordless wednesdays..lol! And btw.. my 5 year old is testing me something fierce lately. Hang in there!
Five is a crazy age! They know what they want and how to do it an don’t want any help!
He definitely has a combo of the “tough guy” and the “deer in the headlights” faces going on. 🙂 It sounds like you’re doing a great job, though, helping him prepare for a new baby. Hopefully he’ll love being a protective big brother!
I hope the time you get to spend with your kids help ease their nervousness about the upcoming change. Hope things get better
Great pictures. I love her costume.
