Valentine Parties 2012








Caleb and Lexie had their Valentine parties today. Caleb's class surprised us with the Thriller Dance. They were dressed up as zombies, which Caleb loved. I didn't get the relation to Valentine though. Lol! Greg met me at Caleb's class and we enjoyed lots of yummy snacks and spent time with his friends. We had to come back for Lex's party. She was very excited to share snack time with Mommy and Daddy. They too were going to dance to the Chicken Dance, but they must have got stage fright. Most just stared at the parents trying to coax them into dancing.

Green tip/ Lexie's Tantrums




Lexie has been sick recently, so I attributed her foul mood to that. But I'm at my wits end with dealing with her tantrums. If she doesn't get her way, she will cry and carry on for a very very long while. I usually can put her in her bed as a sort of time-out, but even that isn't working much. She tells me "no" or "shh" often if I give the wrong response. She throws her self back and slithers along the floor. It sometimes is amusing how mad she can get, but often just frustrating. Even Caleb can do no right with her which is unusual. She usually loves on him. I hope this is a quick phase. Caleb on the other hand continues to be a smooth talker. For dinner the other day I made chicken, which he comes up to me to say "That is the best chicken ever Mom". I said thank you I'm glad you like it. He says " yes, it's so good I want to save some for tomorrow. that's why it's not all gone from my plate." Now that's good. Lol! He got his green tip belt today in Taekwondo. My poor Mom had to take him to belt testing this past weekend while we were away. But it paid off! Way to go Caleb!
