Questions for you.
It's another gorgeous day here. The sun is shining bright. We are going to go furniture shopping today. And hit a park. Mom is going with us. We will have lunch out too.
I hope Miller behaves. He is going through the terrible two's and they are about to get to me. He doesn't want to listen in public and yells and points...I'm at my wits end. I'm not sure what to do. It frustrates me to take him out and he acts out like this. I know he is 2. But he understands the word no. So if you have any advice or ideas I would love it.
Dinner tonight is Beef Stroganoff in the crock pot. We spoke with Madison last night...still no key but she is having a really good time. So I'm happy for this. No one wants to spend that kind of money for their child to cry and want to come home. SO I'm grateful she is happy.
I'm also having a pre school debate with Miller. He turns 2 in late November and I cant decide whether or not to put him in pre school. What would you do or have done? Madison went at 2 but I was a full time working momma. I needed her to be there. But Miller is home with me. He sees other kids during the school year at MOPS the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month. We have monthly play dates. I meet up with a friend to walk 2 times a week who has a little one the same age. We go to church every Sunday and during the school year we go on Wednesday nights and Sunday nights. SO he gets enough kid interaction I think. Maybe I'm just feeling guilty. I was thinking about letting him do it in January if there were spots available. He would be 3 then. I just dont know. Let me know your thoughts.
Well..I need to be off getting ready and making dinner for tonight. Have a great Thursday.

We started both of our kids in a moms day out when they were 2. It was only 2 days a week from 9-2, but it was a wonderful break for both me and for the kids. I think it's so important for kids to learn to be without mom for a bit and know that they can manage. The kid interaction is a huge plus and learning how to behave in a classroom situation and share with their friends is also important. I just always felt that some time apart a few days a week really did both of us good and my kids loved their time at preschool!! I'm sure whatever decision you make will be the right one for you guys!
It sounds like Miller is having lots of fun time with friends! Unless you feel a need for some alone time, let it go. He'll be in a school routine soon enough. Just my two cents -- take it for what it's worth:)
I wouldn't send him yet. I would just enjoy him. Let him be little. It sounds like he gets enough interaction, and plus he has Madison. You are doing a great job with them. I don't think anyone could do better with your son than you!
Hope this helps. :0)
Sometimes it seems like the terrible twos will last forever, but they won't. He'll get past this stage a lot more quickly than you're probably thinking right about now. :-)

Why don't you consider part time pre-school. I did this with Darrian and he went only 3 hours a day. Just enough for me to get some stuff done and miss him.
Glad to hear Madison is loving camp. I loved camp. I only went a few times but it was so much fun.
Plus, he needs the schedule and consistency pre-school brings. The social part will just be a bonus because he gets plenty of that just normally.
It's all a very personal decision and I know you'll make the best choice for Miller! You know him best, after all! :)

p.s. Judah goes to the car when he screams in public. No hesitation. It turns him around REAL quick!
