It is amazing how kids can be so dang cute one moment and then the next they are making you lose your freaking mind. Scotland has been on a rollercoaster of emotions lately. She has been REALLY whiney and crys about everything. But then she can turn around and say "Do you still love me mommy? Even when I do naughty things?" Then my heart seriously breaks into a million pieces. Just the thought of her thinking that I wouldn't love her....tugs on my heart strings. Because of her emotions lately, every night is pretty much a nightmare at our house.....getting Scotland to go to bed is rediculous. I hate the "mom, I need to go potty. Mom, I need a drink. Mom, my blanket isn't straight. Mom, I am hot. Mom, now I am cold" This whole routine makes me crazy. I am sure that someday I will look back and miss these times, but right now I dread them. Tonight Scotland did the same routine, but when she said her prayers she said the funniest thing. She finished and then she said "Mom, we need to say another prayer." When I asked her why, she said "Because that was the opening prayer, and now we need to say the closing prayer." I just laughed and we proceeded to say the "closing prayer". Sometimes I get so worked up at night with trying to get her to bed.....it is times like this that make me realize how lucky I am to get to put my little princesses to sleep every night. They are so cute. Here a few random pictures.
Scotland riding her bike....very slowly. She is super cautious...which makes me crazy.
Here is Scotland crying after she fell off her bike. She falls because she is going to slow. I try to tell her that If she would go a little faster, she would have more control. But mom doesn't know anything ;)
Giving Scotland a little push.
On Saturday we went to Toad's (the arcade/mini golf place) with our friends Bree and Jay and thier little girls Kennedy and London. Here are some pics from one of those picture booths that we all loved growing up. They were so funny. I love the third one.....too cute!!!

I am totally with you on the night time drama! YIKES! I so love the opening/closing prayer thing..too cute! I love those funny pics from Saturday. That was fun. But next time I say we go with a NO KIDS night. What do you say? Oh, and tell Scotland that Kennedy has that same bike. She got it for her b-day last year. After we got home on Sat. we took the training wheels off and started teaching her how to ride it. Holy crap...what fun!
Hahaha... I love it! My kids are the same way, especially Rylie. Maybe it's a girl thing. It really is so frustrating, but then they are SO cute!! What's a Mom to do?? Those photo booth pics are adorable. I love the attitude. I know one day we will look back and remember only the good times. Maybe it's good that we record some of these more frustrating times so we won't get so sad that they have grown up on us. :) We'll be like, oh ya! That was stinking HARD!!! Ha ha ha..
Let's face it Scotland has always been a little drama queen but that is what makes her so dang cute! I know she thinks you are a great mom, becuase she always misses you tons while you are gone! I went in to the daycare today to give Scotland her late b-day present but they told me Sweden has RSV I am so sorry! I hope she is doing better! Let me know when they are going back so I can go drop off her present again!
