This past week I misplaced my patience.
I'm not sure but I think it just might be hiding
under the bed.
Wherever it has hidden... I really miss it.

My sweet baby boy has picked the week my patience ran away to feel out all his boundaries and see how far
I can be pushed.
It's been a rough week.
Rough as in I'm ready to escape to a deserted island all by my lonesome for a few glorious days.

Although, I have to say,
Aidyn really knows how win his mama over.
When I feel like I can't possibly take another second
of him not listening to me, he comes over and
wraps his little arm around my neck, kisses me,
and says, "I love you Mama."

And then I'm just putty in his chubby little hands
all over again.
So, yesterday Aidyn and I escaped outdoors and had a few hours of pure bliss running around and digging for treasures, fishing for a tree (above picture) and playing hide-and-seek.
It was like the stress and tension just melted right off and the last week of craziness never happened.
And then... as were walking
in the door Aidyn started pushing his boundaries again.

Someone please tell me this is a very short stage and it will pass quickly.
You can fib if you have to...
I made this door hanger for my etsy shop and I just may have to make one for myself.
It's just so appropriate for this week. ;)

I have this happen with Alex all the time. I find myself crying or screaming at the top of my lungs just to get her attention.
One night we where outside playing and I was sitting with one of my neighbor friends and Chad was over at another neighbors outside talking with Jon. Well Alex comes over to me and whines and crys and screams of course chad could hear her and the second he said something she stopped crying and went on her merry way.
The neighbor was like boy she knows how to turn that off. She works me and IT SUCKS!!
I got nothing good for you either. I'm still learning how to squeeze more patience from myself and am relying more and more on my Hubs for his guidance (crazy, right?) He grew up as one of six children and they were all 2 years apart. My sister and I were 5 years apart so it makes it difficult to pull life lessons from past experiences for me. I keep trying to remind myself that one day they're not going to want/need me anymore and to try to cherish each moment. Of course, I usually remember that after I've lost patience but I try to make it up to the kidlets and let them know how much i *love* them!
I'm pretty sure you have at least 15 more years of button pushing in your future, as do I! Take a deep breath and carry on! You are doing a great job. Pre-school two days a week... just a thought ;)
Ack! I love that picture of Aidyn peeking out from behind the tree. It's so cute!
Button pushing is a way of life I think and they will always test their boundaries. You are a great mom and patience or not, you will get through this. :)
Already a follower stopping by to say hi on Friendly Friday! I'm just loving your photography!!
I often feel like I need some more patience! :) I have three little girls and I'll just say thank goodness for school starting because I've been able to spend more one on one time with my 2 year old who seems to do so well when her sisters aren't around. I'm sure it's a phase and this too will pass :)
