Independent, creative, curious, and energetic.
Audrey jumping on bubble wrap while dressed in nothing but leg warmers.
Precious, peaceful, and growing.
Restless, irritable, and needy.
Julian checking out toys and practicing push-ups.
Mama had a crazy-making week last week, luckily I made it through and this week has been a thousand times better. I made it thanks to supportive and empathic friends, the help of my rock star co-parent, some therapeutic self-help (published on my other blog), and seeing I'm not the only parent muttering obscenities as I read a funny blog post about a wild preschooler.
In Audrey's search for independence and identity she has created a proclamation that she has stated a handful of times: "I am Audrey Kai. I am two. I eat cupcakes...with my mouth!"
The busy life!!! Love you and anarchic Audrey, gentle Julian and charismatic Chris.
