It is March and I am just now posting about occurrences in 2016. Talk about WAY behind. I am going to play catch-up through pictures. I feel like this is a lazy way but it is all I have in me right now. What matters is that we have an account of life with our crazy boys for the past 2 months. The pictures show the fun, happy, silly times. There have been tons of those, of course. We have also had our share of terrible twos tantrums by Campbell and "independence" tantrums by Austin. Campbell is learning about time out for tantrums, hitting and occasional biting attempts. We are trying to nip this in the bud as quickly as possible. Austin is desperately trying to do everything on his own as well as assert his older brother status over Campbell. Mommy struggles with letting him try to cook his own pasta, pack his own lunch, and scoop Savannah's poop on his own. I think because I know what can happen if he doesn't do it right - a huge mess that we have to clean up or a very very sugar filled, unhealthy lunch box. I know I need to release my control some - he will grow up. I need to teach him how and let him try. Teach him healthy habits and let him soak it all in. These are phases....
Now onto the pictures!
