Turning 4

I am finding that Ava turning 4 years old is proving to be a very trying time for all! Recently she has become increasingly mouthy and defiant; sometimes even blatantly mean. This evening she got in trouble for not listening. I was talking to her, asking why she was finding it so difficult to behave and follow instructions. She responded "Mommy, I just have a very hard time controlling my body and stopping it from doing things". So, there you have it. If you encounter a non-listening 4 year old, remember they have a hard time controlling their bodies. They may know that what they are doing is wrong, but the ability to control yourself apparently comes later! Go figure.

Turning $

wow! I made it!

I actually tried to blog yesterday, unsuccessfully. I was trying to blog from my iPhone and it just wouldn't work. I was bummed cause at this point I do most computer related things via iPhone, unless I get a few quiet minutes during the day. And I must say, I love the touch screen. i
If I could get an eeepc with touch screen capabilities I would be in heaven!!!

Blog, blog, blog

So I thought that it would be fun to try and maintain the blog and update the entries more regularly. We'll see how it goes in the new year. I am thinking that I will try to blog and scrapbook a little each day. My ultimate goal would be a page and an entry per day, but it may end up more as a weekly thing. Who knows. At the moment I am just trying to keep up with everything that we have planned for the next few weeks. Family coming into town for the New Year, Ava's birthday & party, and of course everyday life with 3 kids under 4 years old (translation: LAUNDRY, LAUNDRY & MORE LAUNDRY). At the moment, they are all sick with stuffy noses and coughs. Kind of annoying, but it could be worse. Duty calls....gotta go send someone to their room!
