No! Me!

Nyla is well into the contrary and "me" two year old phase. She wants to do something "me self" and anybody that dares to help gets an earful. She especially likes to change clothes often. She can wear ten shirts in one day. She can almost always get them on by herself although usually backward but sometimes she has trouble getting them off. We have to watch her struggle without helping her because she gets mad at even the offer of help. If she truly needs the help she'll come. I wash so many shirts now because she'll leave one on long enough to get it dirty either by eating or painting or whatever it is she does to get shirts dirty. The last load of laundry included 10 pairs of Nyla pants to Bohdin's two pairs. There were at least as many shirts.

In Buddy's truck the carseats are touching each other. The other night Bohdin reached over and I think hit Nyla. She cried and was sad. I talked to Bohdin about what he had done which started him crying. Nyla was outraged that two people in the car were crying and yelled at him "No! Me sad!"

The car seats were still in Buddy's truck yesterday when we went to a birthday party at the Chaplain's house yesterday. It's been getting cooler so Buddy turned the heater on. Bohdn asks "Why do I feel so hot?". We had to turn the heater off completely and he asked for the AC on Bohdin fell asleep on the ride back yesterday just after 8 which is the first time he has fallen asleep before 11 since the Colorado trip. He was also up before 9. We may be able to get back on track today.




I talked to Bohdin about the delay in moving and asked hm what he wanted in our new house. Bohdin requested lots of room to run inside and no downstairs neighbors so he could run whenever he wanted. We can easily do that. If we were going to the Pentagon we would be able to afford a nice broom closet with shared walls. In Kentucky we can afford a mansion (we consider over 2000 sq ft to be palatial now) and land. We even saw houses over 4000 sq ft in our budget but that's too big. Bohdin doesn't need that much room to run.
