Today was the St Nicholas party at our church. We packed up both kids and headed out (getting there only about an hour late). :P
Joshua was really good, as he has been lately. Although, I didn't see him very much as he was hanging out with the older kids and stealing candy off the gingerbread houses. James slept through most of the party but kept waking up starving and then falling asleep almost as soon as he started nursing. It was not fun because I had to feed him alone in the washrooom as all the other rooms were being used, the car was too cold, and he's not yet good enough to nurse in public. :P
We stayed at the party for a few hours, visiting with friends, and then decided to go visit Joe's family on the way home. By that time Joshua and I were exhausted but we stayed there for about 2 hours before I had to get home and take a nap.
This evening Joshua is being HORRIBLE! Despite a 3 hour nap he is running around the house, getting into everything and refusing to listen to his Daddy or me. I don't know what to do!! He has been so good since we brought James home and now today it's like he has run out of patience and tolerance. As I type this he is trying to get at the key

His Mommy is running out of patience too.

Maybe Joshua has realized that he has to share your attention now! How is your breastfeeding? Is James sleeping well at night? And I don't mean "through the night".
poor baby. he's not the center of your world anymore. the spotlight is getting crowded. I remember when jonah was born. Avery was almost completely potty-trained, and she started pooping her pants again. grrrr. a sneaky and disgusting way to get more attention.
Welcome to the club of two! The days get longer as your first born refuses to listen to mommy and daddy! We are going through the same thing right now...hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel...even though it is the size of a pin hole right now! Keep working at it!
Joshua's world has changed but Ben also started his "terrible twos" at about 18 months. He started to communicate FORCEFULLY that he had a separeate will, in direct contrary to my will. It is normal, if very frustrating. I still have pretty horrid days. What helps me is that I remind myself that his rebellion is normal (while keeping my "no" firm) and I try to give him choices to help him feel some control in his life...as small as choosing his clothes. I still take time to have a good cry on the more frustrating days:)
