Three and a half

Sometimes I really like the age three and sometimes I really loathe the age three.

Jack: Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom. Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy. Molly. Mom. Molly. mommy. mom. MOM!!!

Me: WHAT?!?!

Jack: Never mind

Seriously all day yesterday I kept thinking about this scene from Family Guy:



Like everything else, things get harder and easier at the same time as kids grow. I love how independent Jack is, but he also tests my patience more so than a screaming crying newborn did. We are working on Jack's fine motor skills and I just have no patience for him when it comes to coloring, writing, and crafts. It's not that I don't like doing them - it's because Jack drive me crazy while he's doing them. He demolishes the paper. He scribbles super hard, most of the time on the table. He won't listen to me when I try to tell him how to hold a pen the right way. It's just two stubborn individuals trying to work together. I don't know how people home school. I just am not patient enough. I sound like a horrible mom right now! ha. Sad.

And in other news, Finn got stung by a bee yesterday. It was just awful. I felt so bad for him. The good news is he is not allergic. Thank the Lord! The bee was up Finn's shirt too. Ugh, so horrible. Finn is talking a teeny tiny bit more. This morning he was saying nnnuhhhh nuuhhhh, it took me like 5 min to figure out he was saying nuk. ha ha. I should definitely take that away during the day soon, but I'm not really in any rush. No need for my baby to grow up (and turn the nasty age of 3 1/2, ha).
