Boys will be Boys

     I must say I hate the saying boys will be boys.  Really what does that mean?? To me it's an excuse for when a little boy misbehaves.  Recently my little guy has been having play dates with one of the neighborhood boys.  Now this little boy is rough but lately seems to have a bit of a mean streak in him.  It started with him just pushing Ash around.  I waited a bit to see if this boy's mother was going to say something and also to give Ash a chance to stick up for himself.  When neither happened I spoke up and asked Ash do you like him pushing you?  Ash said no so I told him to tell his friend he doesn't like being pushed and to please stop.  

     Well we took a little break from seeing this "friend" but decided to give it another try today. First this boy pushes Ash down a slide face first that had a puddle of water at the bottom and Ash got soaked.  Then he punch Ash in the eye.  What makes it even worse is that his mother just stood by and did nothing.  Needless to say we will not be having anymore play dates with this neighbor anytime soon.

     It bothers me that Ash was getting pushed around but what bothers me more is that this boy's mother stood by and allowed her son to act this way.  No discipline.  No apology.  Just acted like this was a normal way for a child to play.  Rough play is one thing but this boy was just outright being mean.  So I guess it is time for us to find some new friends.

A New Life

     I can't believe it has been almost two years since my last post.   Good thing I don't have many followers to disappoint with my lack of updates.   So where to begin.  My life is pretty great.  I made it through my last pregnancy and had a beautiful baby girl at 37 weeks.   It was a wonderful pregnancy and at some point I really started enjoying it and stopped worrying about all the what ifs.  Her name is Shaylee and she is now 17 months old.  She is so full of sunshine and makes are life that much brighter.  Asher is now 4 and is so full of life.  I would love to be able to bottle up just a fraction of his energy.  He is in his second year of preschool and really enjoys it.  However we are seriously considering homeschooling him in the future.   Then there is Cody.  He is a sophomore and will be 16 in just a few more days.  I can't believe this amazing young man was once the baby I held in my arms.

      This is my attempt at continuing my blog.  Hopefully I do not fail miserably at it......again.  Since my infertility journey is over this blog will be about our family life and day to day struggles and triumphs.  I hope you all enjoy!!
