It's a Good Thing Children Sleep...

Because it is the MUCH-NEEDED reminder that they are sweet and that you love them with all of your heart.

Today Tianna has been such a monster!!! It's probably because she's recovering from a cold and she's just ornery because of it.
We have a fun little ward play group that we go to on Wednesdays. Right after we got there today she hit one boy (older, of course) right on top of the head with her fist....resulting in a small time out. Then later she was shoving a much older boy (old enough to not hit her back which she probably needed). I intervened before that one got ugly. Then towards the end one mom said "Tianna is pulling that girls hair." I turn around to see her pulling this four year old's hair from both sides of her head. I snatched her right up and we marched home immediately.

Then a little while ago she was playing in my makeup AGAIN. I got her out and shut the door to my room and left her throwing a fit in the hallway to go read blogs (my time out). I few minutes later I hear this faint snore-like sound. I go out there to see her curled up on the floor SNORING really loudly. You have to know, she does NOT just fall asleep places very often so this was certainly picture worthy.

In lighter reports, Conference Weekend was WONDERFUL..... except for Tianna and I being sick. It was so inspiring and very uplifting. I loved how the whole theme was to find hope in these perilous times by righteous living. It makes me want to be so much better!!!

Our good friend, Blake, came to visit for the weekend and that was really fun, as always. We've always said he becomes Tianna's leg extentions, but this weekend it took on a whole new meaning. He even did the dishes with her on his shoulders. He's obviously not a daddy himself yet because he would let her do whatever she wanted... he's too big of sucker for cuteness.


And I must say, she usually is cute, and sweet. But she can be pretty agressive when she wants something-especially when she doesn't feel well. I had to say that so you don't think she's always a beast. Just certain days, but I'm sure all of you parents out there understand..... at least I hope you do.

Oh do I understand....maybe it is the Peacock in our babies but when my little beast doesn't feel good or is tiered, he gets naughty....now I have witnesess to this...he gets an EVIL look on his face and goes around doing everything he knows he isn't supposed to, playing in plants, hitting things (and people), climbing on things...all the good stuff which causes me to run after him trieing to clean up and avoid injury. So I know exactly what you mean. I have time outs for myself too. Luckily now that he has a room with a door I can put him to bed when he is sleepy:)
It looks like Blake will make a great daddy some day :)...even if he is a push over...truth be told I would bet money Luke is a bit a pushover for that little beauty too!

I laughed out loud at the image of Tiana pulling a girl's hair from both sides of her head. :) It's always funny unless it's your kid!
She sounds like the girl version of Logan: cute & sweet one minute, then a wild stinker the next. (I always get so embarassed since it's usually in front of people & he's not like that most of the time!) I hear it's just a 2-3 year old thing. Heaven help us until it's over. :)

OH DEAR!!! kaden is having one of those days right now! So i just put a movie on so I dont have to hear him right now...I know Mother Of The Year Award right here! But somedays we just need sanity again. Oh well. Atleast when they are cute it makes us forget the times when they are real stinkers! Ain't motherhood grand!

So, who's Blake? Married? Why is he so hot?
Side note: It might be time for me to move on from a certain job that I had when we worked together and you were Miss Carbon County right before it you got the job...this is supposed to be in code, just in case. Be excited for me.

Oh my heck,
I totally have EVERY idea what you are talking about. Mason kind of had a day like that today. He was an animal all day. I think his was for the same reason, he is getting over a cold. My poor family has to put up with us and try to get their stuff done, too. It would make it so much easier if we had our own house. Well, what do you do? I hope you are getting better now.
Talk to you later,
Jess

I'm sorry but I had to laugh. Pulling her hair from both sides is totally a 2 year old action! And that COULDN'T be a Frandsen thing, could it? :)
