Mornings did go smoother for a while and then we throw in a crazy 3-day weekend and we back-tracked again. It did teach ME something though, Aidan is a pretty great big brother. I walked in to find Nadia crying hysterically and Aidan with his arm around her telling her he will take care of her. Who would have thought. I followed it up with some good ol' fashioned guilt, and we are back in business! <BR/><BR/>I am sorry you are not feeling well. I hope the lesson did sink in for your little people.<BR/><BR/>On a seperate note, Brad brought his brother to lunch today. They are too freakin' cute! I am certain that is not what they want to be known as, but they were completely in sync and kept bumping fists! What a wonderful bond they have:)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450905649966670631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-63589034889527677222009-02-06T13:56:00.000-08:002009-02-06T13:56:00.000-08:00Oh my gosh, I could have written this.

I keep telling them one of these days they are going to see that I say things for a reason and that something will happen to truly teach them that. It's so awful, but part of me wishes that would happen so that they'll see. But of course I don't want anything bad to happen. Anyway, I just end up yelling all the time too.
