Two Years Old

It's a fun age.

Screeching... stomping... the desire for MORE snacks... MORE.. like NOW!!!!

The age of  "I KNOW what I want but I DON'T know why I can't have it!"

Snack time always goes like that. Gerber fruitchews or granola bar or cheese etc and as soon as it's done, he brings me his dish and smiles sweetly and says 'ok'..... that's Dante language for 'more please'

Unfortunately, it's not quite so sweet when I tell him he can't have anymore .  It get's quite loud.

Also, as soon as his dad gets home, Dante gets it into his head that he needs to go for a car ride.... one of his clearest sentences... although tis only two words is... 'Let's go!' and then he starts pulling his hands, pushing him in the but to propel him out of the room, and then as he nears the gateway to freedom (the baby gate) he says 'up?' and then expects to go for a car ride.

It's quite heart wrenching if he doesnt get to go. He totally melts down. Sad, dejected, lying in a heap... of course, it's better than when instead he decides to get pissed off about it and has a major fit.

Lately he has discovered that it is fun to push Demetrio over. He started doing it when Demetrio would be slug-crawling over to him.. big grin on his face... and then Dante would rush over to his left side , put both hands along his side between his arm pit and hip and SHOVE... this of course would make Demetrio suddenly roll onto his back. Quite shocked. The first few times , I had no idea that that was what was going on, I just thought Demetrio had decided to flip over quickly. I thought that the grinning Dante was simply as a result of a growing appreciation for his little brother. I was a bit wrong.

Today , I caught Dante just before he shoved Demetrio over from a standing position. He was standing , holding onto the couch for support as he shuffled his way from one end of the couch to the other.... touching toys on the couch as he went... (Dante likes to line up all his trucks and tractors on the couch). Suddenly, like flash, Dante was there JUST about to shove him down. But I intercepted. We have laminate floors, and falling on them does not feel good I would imagine.

I'm incredibly tired today.

Non-motivated

    -sending you hugs- Kids today, eh? Take some breaths and I hope Dante learns soon that pushing Demetrio is not allowed.~Rose.

Another year almost here

October 7th will be two years. Two years that she has been gone. I can't say I 'had' a daughter. That seems like such blasphemy. The correct term to me is 'HAVE' a  daughter. But she is no longer huggable. I can no longer hear her laughter or her voice. I can't look forward to any more of her accomplishments because there are none. Autumn again, and it's the same smell in the air. The same quirky wind and dampening light. The time of year I have always loved. Now it's also the time of year that I remember the knock on my door. The face that uttered words telling me she was gone. Autumn décor goes up, as does a sense of dread. Macabre song of leaves in the trees. This year also has included the end of my marriage. Though truthfully it ended long ago, it took a long time to realize that there was no light to sustain it. Just angry words and poison. Seeds from the harvest, in fruit that is past its time, Sink into the earth. From the decay comes life they...

Just another wordpress blog post

I've done pretty good with staying offline. I've reduced my time by about 80%. I just need to narrow down my time on here to quality activities. Blog updates and Spiral Inward message board :D (http://spiralinward.com) My icons from Istok.net arrived. Very beautiful. Ill add pics tomorrow. Our first official Mater Amabilis Narthex is tomorrow. There are three confirmed other than myself. Im pleased with that number. Good things start small. It gives us a chance to get to know each other and to get a good idea of where we want to go with this. I saw my boy tonight. My one who is with his dad right now. I went to watch his lacrosse game with my husband. It was a 4-4 tie and I was so stressed watching those last minutes I thought I was going to hyperventilate. LOL. It was 4-4 almost the whole last period. I hope he and I can work things out. If he wants to. I understand that maybe we just can't live together. He's almost 16 and all his life, behaviour has been a struggle. ...

Boring Post

But a post nontheless. Blogging is a good way to keep track of time and events in my life, especially because I have a bad memory.  So, let's see.... my son is selling e-cigarettes (one of my older sons), I bought my 3.5 year old new Thomas Train  boots. My 2 year old was jealous, but he has some prett awesome Lightening Mc Queen boots, so I just cleaned and buffed his up a bit, and now he thinks they're new too :D. My dad and grandparents came over yesterday... oh! and hubby and I had some wine to celebrate High Spring. We watched The Dark Knight ,because believe it or not, we hadn't watched it yet. I really liked it.  Dying my hair today, the greys are taking over.... hm. What else?  Found an awesome place on SL in a region that is part of the Eternity Sims. 50L per week. Tiny place, but the area is beautiful, the cabin is well done, and it has a day/night set that switches places with the touch of a button. I love the peeps in Eternity. Hopefully I will st...
