We spent the day just hanging out. Olivia was completely out of control today, the worst we’ve dealt with yet. She just threw a fit about everything, and anything. She was acting out towards Amelia again, she wasn’t listening to a word we said…she was utterly frustrating. Christian finally just took her in another room, away from Amelia, for a while. I swear, I’m going to have a nervous breakdown.
It makes me so mad. Everybody talks about having their kids close together, and they were the best of friends, and the older sibling loved to help out and help take care of the baby, and everything was just peachy keen. Apparently our kids didn’t get that memo, because while we have had some good, fun days here and there, it’s mostly just been the hardest almost-6 months of my life. I keep waiting for things to get better, get easier. And they just get worse, and harder. Where is that magical mommy manual when you need it!
Here are a couple pictures for today. Amelia, sitting even better, with her Choo Choo! And Olivia, hanging out with her friends eating a snack. We really need to do something with that hair of hers…
Here's hoping things are looking up with the Olivia/Amelia conflict!
