My little Man Jacob

Now, this is Jacob. He is a little Neil! Jacob also loves his Dad very much and they are sooo much alike. Jacob calls his dad, "my bestfriend" and anxiously awaits him getting home from work each day. I do not mind though, I get to spend my days with him and I know how important Jacob is to Neil too! Jacob is very even mannered. He does not like to ruffle feathers or upset anyone. He is very much a pleaser. He has a real shy streak to him though. He seems to be in a real phase where he does not like to talk to too many adults. He starts Preschool again in a few days and is going to a teacher who just moved into our area. I think he is getting bored with me during the day and is ready to get busy again.

Jacob loves Star Wars and his new thing is Transformers!! When did they come back in? Weren't these things out when I was a kid? I love to watch him grow and learn! I just hate that it is going by too fast.

My little tornado...I mean Princess!!

This is Paige!! I am writing this blog after a VERY long day of dealing with my newly turned 2 year old and what a day it has been. That girl really knows how to test my patience. I have never known anyone who can tear a room apart as fast as she can. I spend my whole day picking up after her, just to have her undo everything I just cleaned. You can tell by that look in her eye, that she is planning her next attack!! She is just waiting for me to turn my back to pounce on her next victim. Now, do not get me wrong... I love this little tornado to death, but man can she test me.
With Jacob life seemed easier. I do not remember having to do the time-out thing a whole lot. He never remember him having the "terrible two's", I remember the "terrible three's" but even those only lasted a week. I can tell that this girl is going to give me a run for my money. Trying to discipline her is a job. She smiles at you while you are trying to tell her no and then laughs as you place in time-out AGAIN!! I love this little girl to death...but she really is my little tornado.

Here we go...

Ok, ok ok...I am going to try this blog thing!! I was convienced by a very good friend of mine, that this is what I need to do to keep others up to date. So, not only do I have to make sure I keep up on my kids scrapbooks, but I need to make sure I post to this blog!! No, really I would like to give it a try. Maybe this will end up being more therapy for me then anything else. Even if no one else reads it, I will be able to record the events of the Andersen household.

This is my first rule though...even if I spelled something wrong, I meant to do it and/or I do not want to know.

Life has been good for us lately. Kids are growing like crazy and I am enjoying every minute of being their mom. I have good kids!! Jacob is into another year of preschool and is getting bored with the whole thing. He is ready for Kindergarden. Paige just turned 2 (two days ago)! She is definently my child...attitude and all.

I am excited to tell others about the events in our lives...so stay tunned!!
