Hopefully wrapping up a few REALLY rough days with our little Princess. The heat does not appear to bring out her best, and we have been busily testing Mom and Dad in just about any situation. From throwing food in my face, to beating the dog with blocks, to pulling all leaves from all plants within a 100 yard radius of the house, Camdyn has found ways to get under our skin and seems to relish in every second of exasperation. The hours of our day not devoted to naughty behavior seem to be filled with stiff-bodied, high-pitched screaming tempter tantrums......As we attempt the implementation of time-outs, positive reinforcements and a variety of other discipline techniques, Jeff and I are working hard not to loose our cool.....not to mention pondering the whereabouts of our little angel!
One positive solution has been to take any meal possible outside! We seem to be our happiest on a blanket in the sun, surrounded by food. Of course, since Camdyn must declare her new found independence in all daily tasks, meals come complete with her own plate, fork, spoon and big girl cup! Mom is just happy for the temporary reprieve of parenting obstacles....not to mention the minimal clean-up!

We seem to have two peas in a pod.. and just in time for baby #2 to appear... As I say over and over again, this too shall pass... but maybe not quick enough.
We've had our share of naughty phases! They do come and go, I promise :)
