Pretty Normal.

Things have been pretty quiet on the homefront thise week. I've been trying to think of something to post for a couple of days now but really it's just the same ol' same ol'.
Tanner started baseball practice this week. He's the smallest kid on the team. I know he's a little guy but I never really realize it until he's matched up against other kids his age. The next shortest kid on the team has him by a good 3-4 inches. :-( He's not doing too bad in most areas though. This is our first season in coach pitch and the coach pitching was the most difficult part for him. Literally the coach can't pitch it low enough to actually be in his strike zone. Everything was coming in at or above his shoulders. You could see it was frustrating the coach too.
After practice he proclaimed he didn't really like to play baseball which broke CJ's heart. I think he was just sad because he didn't have a very good batting practice, and because I pulled him out of GymKats for the season. He really loves GymKats too, but baseball is already 3-4 nights/wk and I think anything more than that is just too much right now. I promised him when baseball season is over he could go back to GymKats.
Grace is Grace. She's got a thing for dresses and skirts right now and would wear one every single day if I'd let her. She loves going to school. I think it's more social for her than anything because every day when I ask her what she learned she says, "oh nothing. But Lacey and I...."
And Morgan, well, he's 2. Very, very 2. I never really had much terrible two's with Tanner or Grace but Morgan is about to drive me mad! Screamin' fits when he doesn't get his way, he hits, he cries (seems like constantly). I just want to beat my head into the wall. Some days it's really hard to remain calm. I'm managing though.
Poor CJ has strep. Don't ask me how but he does. He's dying. He's been feeling bad since Tuesday. He went to an urgent care place yesterday and they gave him an antibiotic shot, an antibiotic prescription, and a pain killer.
I'm fine nothing crazy. Going scrapbooking tomorrow which I am very excited about. Got 28 pages done last weekend at the retreat - woohoo!
Well, gotta scoot - time to take Tanner to school.

Poor Tanner! Hopefully he'll hit a growth spurt soon. I remember the nothing but dressess phase...so cute. and the terrible twos..well...I'm going to just pretend I don't have to indure them again! I hope CJ gets to feeling better soon! Love ya!

Sweet little Morgan? Terrible twos, really? Sorry about CJ and the strep. But glad you get to go cropping anyway.

I don't think I have heard of CJ getting so sick as I I have this past year. Poor guy, I know he must be miserable if he's in bed and taking meds. I have a terrible two too! He will throw himself around like you wouldn't believe. I count the days until everything is normal again.
