Mike's In Heaven

Recent Events

I've been behind in my posting so I'll just post pictures to let everyone know what we've been up to....

We went to a pumpkin patch. Eryn went on a "cow train", horseback riding, through a maze, and to a petting zoo. We didn't actually get around to going in the pumpkin patch....maybe next year.

Eryn was Snow White for Halloween. We got the costume for 50% off! Yea for deals!We also went to Disney on Ice. It was a blast and one more excuse for Eryn to wear her Snow White dress in public. It totally captured her attention the whole time.

MIA

We've been MIA lately because I've started a new job. I work at an assisted living center for people with dementia. I haven't done this kind of work before but I've discovered that I really like it. It reminds me of all those Sundays visiting Ponds in Punaluu and Crawfords in Sunset. It feels like genuine service...I just happen to get paid for it.

Dear Auntie Helen,

I put on this outfit at least once a day but usually with two shoes. Mommy has hidden my salmon colored jacket because the first time I put it on I wanted to wear it every where. Mommy said it was because of my blue shoes, pink printed shorts and purple shirt I insited on wearing with it. Mommy's weird. I had fun when you came for a visit and mommy says you can come anytime.
Love, Eryn
P.S. Where's the pictures you promised?

Eryn's New Trick

Eryn picked up a new skill. I don't know what's more funny...Eryn doing the trick or Eryn watching herself do the trick. Either way we are having a good time watching Eryn.

Glorious Day

Eryn pooped in the potty!

Oh, Sweet Child of Mine

Something has happened to my baby. She used to be so loving and affectionate. She used to listen to me and follow me with her whole heart. Okay so she is still affectionate but a few weeks ago that child disappeared. She is now one of those kids. You know what I mean. The ones that throw themselves on the floor of the store, kick and scream when we tell her no, and gets hysterical at the drop of a hat. I'm pretty used to the reactions by now. There's the "why can't this lady control her child" glare and the "I've been been there and I'm so glad I done" smile and perhaps my least favorite of all the "I'm going to try to make this better but really it's going to make it worse" gesture where some stranger gives her a candy or treat I told her she couldn't have in the first place. For those that have been through the terrible twos please tell me the end is near. Please tell it gets better. Please tell me I'm not the most horrible mom in the world when I lose my patience or not give in to her cries of injustice. And please tell me my sweet baby will come back so I can go out in public again.
