BiPolar Day

Today Nathan has just been up and down in the space a few hours. This morning he woke up cranky (not unusual) but then as he woke up he was in a good mood. We got in the car and he was cranky becuase it was cold outside. Then about 10 minutes into the ride he decided he wanted to listen to music and he was in a great mood again. Then we got there and he was fine. He walked with me to the door, we opened the first door and he was playing. I entered my code and went to open the second door and he stood in front of me, clung to my leg and started SCREAMING!!!! I was soo stunned. And of course one of my co-workers was right behind me. So I dragged Nathan in the door and then asked him what was wrong. He just said he didn't want to go to school. I told him that was too bad and we were going. then he said he wanted to be carried and I told him no that was he walking. I told him after we dropped off nicholas I would pick him up. He started screaming again, so I just walked away from him while he was sitting on the floor in front of the front door. I got to the corner and he said mommy come get me.... I said no, you need to come with me. So he came running and asked to be picked up again and I reiterated that I would pick him up after we dropped off nicholas. So we went to take off our shoes and suddenly he's in a great mood again. he took off his shoes himself and went into nicholas' room and played while I dropped off nicholas. then he gave nicholas a kiss and off we went to put our shoes back on. We did that, walked over to his room and he stopped. Luckily no screaming but definitely sullen. I stayed in the room for probably 10 minutes and he wasn't getting interested in anything. Finally I just had him walk me to the door and the one teacher held him up and he blew me a kiss. He was still pretty sullen, but I'm sure he was over it within 10 minutes of me leaving. But boy did I feel like I was on a roller coaster ride this morning. Dealing with a three year old is like dealing with someone with multiple personalities. Geez!!!

Nicholas has found his voice at home. He is definitely getting his point across lately, whether it be by yelling, pointing or grunting. To be fair, he is teething and I think he's starting to get allergies like the rest of us so he's been a little cranky. But yesterday afternoon both boys were in great moods. We went for a bike ride in the woods and they both had a great time. It was a beautiful day. I do so like September.

Oh and a big thank you to my honey for cleaning out the freezer in the garage this weekend. Someone (not Matt but I'm not naming names) accidently left the freezer door open and everything defrosted and got all over the freezer and the floor, including chicken juice. So the garage was really starting to stink up the whole house and matt took like 3-4 hours and cleaned the whole place out with bleach and everything. So I owe him big now. Love you honey. :)
