Living age 3

So May 31st I made the goal of writing a blog everyday in June....well here it is..June 5th!  My bad.

Kids are doing ... wonderful.  Momma however is struggling a bit.  I heard 3 was bad and hoped it was just bad for everyone elses kids.   Mine have gotten hit with the terrifying 3 bug.  What are the symptoms?
- Back talk
- Possessed like fit throwing
- A lot of "No" and "You do it!"
- The littlest thing being wrong or off and the whole world is crashing down
- ALOT of "I want to do it by myself" which takes FOREVVVVEEERRRRR, and
- Some "I want to pick out my clothes" - then once they pick it out and get them half on they realize they don't want to wear it and want to pick something else.  Argh...I could go on.



However in between the times when symptoms are at their worst there are lots of sweet and funny moments.

Presley I have found is serious.  She likes to be silly and goofy...but pretty much on a daily basis tells me "stop it mommy that isn't funny"...especially when I try to squirt her w/ water.  She thinks she is a princess and acts like it...definitely a daddies girl!  Lately when she does something and gets in trouble she says "It's an accident mommy...I didn't mean too"...sure Presely sure...

Ashton is still a wild man with the fullest whole hearted laughter...that I could listen to forever.  He is also super sweet.  He is very complementary.  He tells me I am pretty and compliments pretty much anything you can think of (your clothes, shoes, makeup, pictures you draw, buildings you build, ect).  He will also tell you your are doing a "good job".

Keegan is sweet too.  Definitely a mommas boy.  He loves blue and would dress head to toe in blue on a daily basis if he could...and sometimes hes does make it a few days in row.  Recently he took a hard fall and skinned up his knees pretty good.  The last 2 days one of the scabs got pulled a little off which caused massive amounts of blood to drip down his leg....this sent Keegan into a inconsolable panic.  I was finally able to convince him to let me clean it...but no bandaids!  Hey may be a tad OCD...

All 3 of them have begun to pretend play together.   From building castles and towers w/ legos, to having tea parties, to making chocolate milk w/ sand and water.  It's really sweet hearing their conversations and how they talk to each other (when they aren't arguing lol).  They all also LOVE to sing.  Sometimes I think they believe life is a musical and they sing about everything....by the way...anyone out there provide singing lessons to 3 year olds?  Talk about monotone!  LOL

That's the update for now....stay tuned for daily adventures...fingers crossed.
