Really?

Sometimes I wonder if Jason and I have the same conversations because we frequently walk away with different conclusions. Tonight J had lit a fire in the stove which lead me to asking about the position of the gate which keeps the kids away from the fireplace. He said he wasn't sure if he was going to move it and I said I thought it would be good to do before the party. Party? he said.

Evelyn's birthday party is at our house in two weeks. He was the one that wanted it here rather than at my parents house. I swear I even double checked with him before filling out the invites, but no tonight he was supprised to learn that it was going to be here. We clearly need some help in the communication department.

The good news is he still wants it here though after this weekend I'm hoping not to leave him home alone much leading up to the party as I don't want the house to be a disaster - I'm going to have too much to do anyway. Wish me luck!

Doctor's appointment

Today William had his 2 month check up! It's hard to believe that he is two months already and then again looking at him it is hard to believe that he is only two months. He weighed in at 13 lbs 10 oz and is now 23 inches long. he was a bit upset at the appointment because he wanted to eat and I didn't want to get him started then take him off though maybe I should have. He didn't show off his mad tummy time skills for the doc but I assured her that he was doing well with his neck strength. Today he also got his vaccinations poor guy though he actually settled down fairly quickly but then I also had to feed him after the shots so that may have had something to do with it too.

After the appointment he slept off and on while I ran some errands and got my oil changed.

Disapline issues

between J and i that is. Jason got smacked in the face quite a few times today (she tries to take his glasses and ends up hitting him) and so he now wants to start hitting (well swatting but still). Evelyn in punishment. We had quite the disagreement about this as I am apposed to even gentle hits as punishment for several reasons: I mean really trying to teach a kid not to hit by hitting??? J is apposed to a time out as he feels that isolation is not a good punishment. Sigh I asked him for other options and he just walked away saying we would talk tomorrow. J has a habit of doing that and I would be willing to put down a large wager that we not only don't talk about it tomorrow but will not talk about it until I bring it up and since I don't see him much these days who knows when that will be.

Rolling over

William rolled over today for the first time. I'm thinking it was the way I put him down rather than him figuring it out because he has only done it once and it was right after I put him down. Still it is the first and we shall see if he does it again.
