Confessions.......

I'm dusting off this space to share some confessions

I have a running notes section on my phone of confessions and well the list is a little long so I figured I would put some here.......

I don't always brush my kids hair before they go to school. Most times I throw Charlotte's hair in a pony or pig tails but the boys. They get to just go as is. 

I feed the kids a separate meal most nights. And 90% of the time it is breakfast (like eggs, sausage, waffles) or what we call a snack plate (granola, yogurt, a fruit or veggie and chips) because let's be real at the end of a work day scrubbing them down after they eat spaghetti is just too much for me to handle which leads me to my next confession

Charlotte and Marshall will be 3 in April and I still have them in cribs and high chairs. Why? Because it's easier to have them contained. They are double trouble. We tried having them at a kids table but they got up every 5 seconds and so we got tired of yelling so back into high chairs. And as far as the the cribs go well they don't climb out yet and so we will ride that wave as long as we can.

All 3 of my kids have very strong opinions on what clothes they wear. I miss the days of me just dressing them and no talking back. It's a fine line between independence and laying down the law. I now let them pick out their clothes but they know I hold veto power.

We are in the throws of potty training and I would say we are about 85% there. I will take it and I will be even happier when we are out of pull ups.

I put a clock in Grayson's room so that he would stay in bed. He knows that if the first number on the clock is not a 7 or higher then he cannot get out of bed. It has been working.

I tell my kids that netflix is broken sometimes.

I let them destroy the toy room and I give it a good cleaning about twice a month. Two times a month I'm ruthless and donate and throw out with a vengeance. I have only had them ask me where something was once.

I confess that even though they drive me crazy at times that these three faces still melt me.
