I have a teenager... Wait that's not how I want to start this.
Two months ago I had the GREAT idea to give Gwen a cell phone. I think the change happened overnight, she became a teenager. Texting and watching youtube videos on her phone. To top it all off she walks out of the room when she answers the phone. Which I suppose is better then sitting in the middle of the room laughing and saying things like "OMG no she didn't" and "I would have been SSSSOOOOOOOO embarrassed".
So now everywhere she goes she has her phone. which is good 'cause I can text her when shes outside or on the second floor. But the outcome is that I have a teenager.
I love my teenager, I really do. But I mean after all she is a teenager. So the next step is fighting and door slamming and threats right?? I mean that's what parents and teenagers do, isn't it?? I threaten to... blah blah her blah blah and in return she fights with me and slams doors in my face... That's how its supposed to go yes??
Well whatever happens next I'm prepared. I have a hammer and flat head screwdriver. So I can take all the doors off their hinges if need be. And I won't just threaten to blah blah her blah blah, I'll actually do it, so then it'll be more like a promise... right??
In other developments, Ailyn is asking to go potty and has actually peed twice now. So that ones growing up too.
Oh and Michael is out on his very first non-family sleepover tonight. Connor is with him. They are at Connor (and now Michaels) best friends house.
Connor is going to be in second grade next year. At least not a lot has changed about him. OH WAIT Connor can pronounce "L" now and can read really well all by himself.
I know kids are supposed to grow up. But I still feel like they are all my babies, and I should be helping them with well everything. I've been looking at pictures from when they were all babies lately and I can't believe where the time has gone.
Well I'm off to bed. Oh did I mention ALL THREE of my oldest children are out on sleepovers tonight?? And Scott was at work most of the night leaving me with just Ailyn. I haven't had a night like that since Gwen was little. I'm glad it's almost over, I miss my other kids. I'm going to go to bed now and dream of when they were little again....
Night interwebz.
