In the thick of it....

The terrible two's that is. No lie, the day she turned 20 months she has started this crying - for - two - hours - a - day - business. And, she won't sit in her high chair, nooo that is just not good enough and for the love of Pete, don't try to help her eat. Big mistake, like HUGE. She has her own agenda and we had better get on board!!

Last night when I was trying to wash dishes and clean up she was having a major meltdown and was just screaming/crying so badly. I have no idea what the problem was, but I had to stop and just hold her for fear of a neighbor calling Child Services - it's that bad. Poor thing, I held her for about 20 minutes and she calmed down. I pray that this passes quickly.

I do love to comfort her, she is still letting me know she needs me. She is still a baby, my very big baby! She loves to be held a lot, and minus the screaming in my ear, I love it. Her breath warm against my face, sweet pudgy hands holding onto my neck. Those blue eyes like the sky in heaven, she melts me so.

Because, you know, they grow too fast. Brenna who is 3 months away from the big six, has her first loose tooth. She was so excited when I told her it wasn't a toothache, she was jumping up and down! Jeno and I just looked at each other and didn't have to say a word. We knew what each other was thinking, "where has the time gone?" . Too fast!

These plus so more are the reasons I scrapbook. To capture and hold onto memories, stories for later. I don't want to forget how excited she was by a wiggly little tooth.

I have a few more Candy Shoppe layouts to share, thanks for hanging in there!!

because she really is:)

and, well, my reason for everything!

Well, I hope you have a beautiful day!
