Newsflash!

Newsflash to my adorable and strong-willed 2 year old: Mommy ALWAYS wins! Please understand this sooner rather than later, and save yourself some tears.

Yesterday, this battle has been over cleaning up. We were at a stand-off for about 40 minutes over cleaning up crayons. It would go something like this.
MOMMY: Clean up the crayons
ANTHONY: Throws crayons on the floor
Antony sits in time out.
Wash rinse, repeat.

He finally cleaned them all up, by himself, and next time I asked him to do it, he listened the first time.

Today's battle is over nap time. He keeps getting out of bed. Anthony is exhausted, and will be taking a nap today whether he likes it or not. He is going to have to learn this the hard way.

     Well, things have calmed down in a lot of ways, which frees me up to blog. Something I really enjoy doing. There will be another element to this blog, as I figure out how to navigate the exciting and overwhelming world of food allergies.       My oldest is diagnosed with severe food allergies, and now my 8 month old baby is showing signs of the same things. We are managing severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish and shellfish. I have eliminated milk from my diet and it is helping the baby immensely. I strongly suspect he has a severe allergy to milk.      So our house has been turned upside-down by food allergies yet again. I had grown used to using milk products as a crutch for making sure my boys got enough of their nutrients. It is likely we will have to transition to a milk free home sooner rather than later. I have already cut it from my diet, and must say that I feel pretty good. I do miss cheese and ice...

Today, naptime = party-time. Today, I don't care enough to stop it. Today, I just close the door and let them play.  Today, I am exhausted in every way. Today, I need a nap probably more than any other day this week. Today, I will not get one. Today, there is paint on the walls and laundry everywhere, clean and dirty. Today I have to wash our comforter and pillows that our oldest son threw-up all over in the middle of the night last night. Today he is feeling fine. Today I am trying to remain thankful through the exhaustion. And as I write this, this line came on from one of my favorite Shane & Shane songs:  "Revive me, revive me not for me but for Your name." Today, I am thankful that God is God.
