Good vs. Evil


Evil = Sam
Good = Matthew


Evil Situation: Screaming, constantly screaming NO, I don't want TO. Sam do it. Attempting to jump on the kitchen table, followed by flying milk across the family room (or on daddies head), dumping all the couch cushions on the floor, followed by a hug and a kiss followed by, "don't worry mommy & daddy, it's okay, I love you." We get so frustrated and our hearts melt all at the same time??? How is that possible.

Our little Sam is just up to no good these days, for that we call him, evil! What drives us bonkers is, the love that he endures during his worst moments. Now, please don't misunderstand me. He is probably like this 60% of the time, the other 40% he is great! I'm entering this blog post to make me understand that this is all normal behavior and when our "good" son enters the 'terrible twos' we will be all ready for him.


Good Situation: Waking up with coo's and smiles. Full blown belly laughs followed by constant wiggles for love for all of us, even his 'evil' brother. Matthew is doing great! His demeanor has totally changed as his world is blossoming around him. He is starting to enjoy his car seat a lot more now, partially because we have moved Sam to the last row in the mini van so he can entertain Matthew. The screams that once echoed inside this four wheeled vehicles are turning into laughs! (THANK GOD).

Brad and I are holding on as Sam is taking us for a ride. The ride is a little scary, but please...can he be 3 soon????

Oh my these boys just never let you rest do you? I often wonder what would be better..... both acting crazy together, or tag teaming as they seem to be doing...just when you get one happy and fun loving the other falls off and v/v.....would it be better to endure one stretch of 2 evils to get a strech of 2 happies...or would that REALLY PUT US OVER THE EDGE?!?!?!?!?!?
