Can we go back to 2008?

I can definitely tell it's a new year with Ace. Jonathan and I are ready to pull our hair out. Ace is trying to perfect his whine and it's driving us crazy.
Last night I discovered the reason that I married Jonathan. It was about 10:30pm and Ace woke up SCREAMING. I went up to rock him and he wouldn't quit screaming and crying. Jonathan came upstairs and told me to leave the room. I peeked through the crack in the door: Jonathan turned the lights on, put Ace on the floor and he immediately stopped screaming. Jonathan shut the lights off and had Ace back to sleep in less than 2 minutes!!!! I LOVE you handsome.

So if you hear whining, it's probably coming from our house. If it isn't Ace, it's me or Jonathan! But look at that face! Who could ever be frustrated by it, really?!
Today, he didn't want to go down for his afternoon nap so I was singing him every song in my repertoire. He outSUNG me! He threw in a "hup" (translation: help), "Chip," "Bigga," "B" (translation: Aunt Barby), "Monkey," and all sorts of other words. I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. It made up for last night!

Oh man, I know what you mean! Kate has been a handful for me too! But the minute Dave comes around, she becomes this perfect little angel. I just know that Dave must think I am crazy for thinking that staying home with Kate all day is really that tiring and hard, but he sees a totally different child! But it's true, one minute you want to scream and run away as fast as you possibly can, and the next minute you are cracking up at things they say and do! It's such a crazy and wonderful relationship, isn't it?!?! Hang in there!
