I underestimated the power of good parenting. I kept going on and on about what a terd Oliver has been lately. Life sucks, poor me, blah blah blah. Well, I stood back and realized it's not his fault. I'm the one who needs work. What the HELL have I been doing??? I need to be a better mom! Kelly and Jenn (the two most fabulous teachers in the world) gave me good advice and I need to take it. Kids only remember the last word they hear so tell them what you want them to do and not what you don't want. So not, "don't stand up" but say "sit down". It sounds easy but I am such a dork. Anyway, I have really been trying to be more understanding of his teething, growing pain and learning frustrations. What do you know... he is being such an angel. I freakin' love him soooo much I can't stand it.
I got to work yesterday and realized I had a chip in my shirt. We were playing with them at Papa and Grandma's the other night and I didn't notice him stick it in. Hilarious, he thinks my shirt is a pocket. How could you ever get mad at such a cutie? :)
His first motorcycle ride with Ray. Janet has been watching O a few days and week to help and it has been so nice. He LOVES "Nanet", ha ha. I sure love seeing Grayson more too. He is getting so big and smiles constantly.
He loves to read with Grandma.
His new bath toy from Daddy.
Kelly and Matt invited me to Discovery Gateway on Saturday and Oliver had a blast. I need to take him out more.
