What a week!

Well I had a very hard week last week. I felt so very tired all week and had no energy to do anything at all. I really struggled with the boys last week and didn't know how I was going to get through the week. I think from being sick but mostly the pregnancy hormones were making me feel really crap and tired. I was super moody too so my poor husband had to put up with me which wasn't too pleasant for him. He cleaned up the house for me and took out the boys to give me a break which was great. I really needed it. He did tell his Mum that I'd lost the plot shaved my head and was running around in my underwear. The next morning she thought she better check he was joking & rang him to ask Leanne didn't really shave her head did she. Very funny!!

Even though I was having a bad week it didn't seem to rub off on Jack. He had a great week at preschool. His teacher told me that he is speaking so well now and she couldn't remember what he said but he said a full sentence and it kind of shocked her. I agreed that in the past month he is just talking so well and saying full sentences all the time. You just can't believe how much they learn and sometimes think how do they know how to say that but they just pick things up from everywhere. He also did a wee in the kids toilet at school for the first time too. So happy. Have to admit a little upset that it wasn't a triump we did together at home but great all the same. I am thinking he is not one that may want to do it on a potty so thinking of getting a toilet insert. If he is doing it on the toilet at preschool it might make it more difficult to do something different at home. I think watching the other kids at school helps too. Anyway he is going so well right now and just growing up so much. It still feels like yesterday I was holding my little baby Jack in my arms as a newborn. Luckily he still loves cuddles from Mum a little too much actually but I'll enjoy it while he still loves it so much.

Will the destructor as we call him sometimes is going well also. I've come to the conclusion that he just may be a more difficult baby. He pulls everything out he can get to, bangs everything on furniture, doors whatever, throws his food across the room and has recently learnt to scream really loud if he doesn't get what he wants. I was really lucky with Jack he was a really easy baby with all these things. It wasn't till he starting having tantrums things got hard with him oh & when his baby brother came along. I don't remember him starting tantrums this early but maybe I've forgotten. Will also hit back at Jack when Jack pushed him the other day. Obviously told him no but he's just given his own back after all the pushing from Jack. He has learnt it from him. I think I'm going to have my hands full when Will reaches the terrible twos & I'm wondering how he will be when we have our new baby. Didn't think he could be any worse then Jack but he just might be. He is starting to say some things we can't understand fully yet but this morning he actually said bye to Daddy as well as his normal wave. He also is growing so fast so I'll cherish every moment even the difficult things.

Whilst writing this I am waiting for Will to have his morning sleep. Before dropping Jack off to preschool Will was really miserable this morning and seemed to still be tired. I put him back to bed after getting back which was 9:10am and it's now 9:55 he is still up then talking, banging, playing. I need to head out to do groceries and some other things. By the time he falls asleep now then have to wait for him to wake up. If I went before he has his morning sleep he would be a nightmare while we were out. He seems to do this alot now takes ages till he falls asleep once I put him down. What can you do!

Looking forward to the weekend. Heading down to Sydney for my sister Kim's partners Son's birthday party on Saturday. The boys will love being there with all the kids and I get to see my family. Staying at my sister Inlaw Natalie's tomorrow night which will be great too. The boys love going there and they give me a break because they all love looking after the boys and playing with them.

Well must go clean abit before we head out fingers crossed Will falls asleep soon.
