We recently were talking about how Cason's been so much easier in that way, because his tantrums always lasted literally 5 seconds or so. Pretty much the day we said that he started throwing some serious fits. Then Paige thought it would be a good time to start another phase.
So lately they're BOTH going through it, and sometimes will throw huge fits at exactly the same time, which is always fun and impossible to do anything about. Especially when Jess is at work and I'm busy feeding Neely or something. Not that it would matter if I wasn't busy, because I'm the worst mom ever when it comes to discipline. They pretty much laugh in my face when I'm mad at them.
They think it's hilarious to keep talking to me and each other (their chudders) at bedtime, when I tell them to be quiet. Then they laugh at each other, which of course makes it worse. Punks. Usually I end up laughing, and then it's a lost cause.
Whatever. Have a looksee at Neely being a little weirded out by her hyper siblings.
And some lip and chubby cheek closeups.

Neely is sooooo cute. Delaney likes to be especially naughty when I am feeding Sophie and can't really do anything about it. Turkeys. BTW, I think she has been secretly reading your blog by herself, because lately she has been running around with her arms out saying, "I am Buzz Lightyear!! To 'finity beyoooonnnndddd!" Haha.
Love the baby closeups! She is lovely.
I think it is very hard to be consistent and firm - but every time I am slow to say NO and stop Minuet manages to do the thing I've said no to and hurts herself (falls off of something or whatever), so I'm trying to accept that firm is my job. My sad awful job. I just hate that she owns me since she looks at me like either 1) I've said no and broken her heart and she trusted me not to, or 2) she is a flirty grinning fool who is so proud of herself and makes me want to just cuddle in her grinning baby naughtiness. Ah well, working on it. Patience... right.
