Quiet Time

Nothing special about this post..No pictures I have been up since 11:00. Samantha and I went to bed about 9:00 and I woke up at 11:00 thinking it was around 5 or 6:00. Guess that is a good thing. I feel refreshed!! We had a pretty rough evening. Thursday night went really good for the Downeys! Ha! Samantha helped me clean for a good hour! Did we make a dent in this house. NO! but she was a BIG help to me and we didn't fight at all! Since she gave me a break I thought I would return the favor and take her to Toys R Us to pick out some toys. HAHAHA..she has been crawling out of the shopping cart so I opted not to fight with the cart and just let her walk around! SHE RAN EVERYWHERE!! THREW FITS!! SCREAMED! But I was determined to get her a toy for her good behavior from Thursday. Sometimes you have to pick your battles..this is an old saying and I am trying hard to remember it from hour to hour. Samantha is a very strong willed little girl and sometimes (most of the time) I have little patience. I am working on that too. I call this whole process..The Trial and Error Twos!! As I type this Samantha is tossing and turning and I figure she is about to get up!! SO I am typing fast. A little bit ago she was saying "NO" in her sleep!! Probably telling me that..but then she started giggling..these are the moments that make up for the TRIAL AND ERROR TWOS...thats the end
