Terrible Twos!

I know I'm going to get an email soon about slacking, so I decided to be proactive and write something. Jason's a little discouraged with Sean's tantrums... I must admit that they're VERY frustrating, but normal, right? On Saturday, we were at Sam's club and Sean was flipping out because I had to put him in the cart. A man past by and said, "Is he 2?". I said yeah and then he said, "yeah, I have a 2 year old myself". I said, "so this is semi-normal?" and he said, "oh, it gets much worse than that". :)

Last Sunday, we went to the cider mill. It took us 25 minutes to get to 30 & Groesbeck and another 35 minutes to get to 33 mile. Those 3 miles were horrible. I think EVERYONE was at the cider mill that day. Sean wanted to be out of the car, so he was throwing a fit (not unusual these days). Finally we got there and it was SCORCHING! 83 degrees in mid-October... Sean fed the animals, played on the tires & went through the mini corn mazes. When we left there, we went by Uncle Mike's & Aunt Nicole's. Sean found one of Austin's Thomas trains, so he was all set. He bonked poor Jackson on the head with it though. Poor little guy took a whole minute to build up to his cry! Last Monday, Sean woke up with the sniffles and a cough. By Tuesday, his eye was draining green. From zero to really sick in no time flat! I took him to the doctors and he had a ear infection in his left ear and a nasty eye infection. I was hoping to avoid eye drops, but they were necessary. He started to feel better by Thursday, but he's still not feeling well. Gotta love this season! :) On Friday, Sean helped me & Jason watch the babies at church during night of worship. Thank God grandpa Jim was there to run the halls with him because Sean wasn't doing so well with sharing & such. Saturday night was grandma Sue's 60th birthday party. Sean held the microphone & yelled, "happy birthday grandma Sue" 4 or 5 times. It was great. Grandma & Puppa came home from their trip up north yesterday. Sean really missed them. He asked me a bunch of times, "where's grandma?". Then he'd tell me he missed her and when he talked to her on the phone he said, "come home, grandma". Awww... After the "reunion", we went to my friend Sue from work's cousin Erica's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. It was 100 degrees in there and there were at least a thousand people! But, Sean had a blast. Sean wasn't feeling good again last night and he woke up this morning with a 101.7 fever. He's on a strong antibiotic still, so maybe it's teething? GRRR! Hopefully it will pass soon! He was in great spirits when he walked into Susie's this morning. Barely said goodbye... :(
