Complain Complain

I've read somewhere how blogging helps a parent stay positive. It's true, I tend to leave the really frustrating and agonozing times out of the blog and I'm left with the beautiful and great moments with Penelope. I'm going to vent a little today. So if you hate to hear me whine like my child, just enjoy the picture and ignore the rest of my coments.

My child doesn't enjoy eating. When she eats, she eats very little, not enough to sustain her till the next meal or snack. What do we all feel like when we are tired and hungry? Multiply that by a two year old and you've got Penelope! I feel like I'm trying to control a tornado. By the end of the day, I'm a house that has been lifted off its foundation and trashed to tiny pieces. She's so wonderful to other people, but how am I already "mom"(the enemy)?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Thanks to Penelope's Poh Poh, Derek and I were able to see a movie together! Not just any movie, Harry Potter! Actually, we saw very little of Penelope that day. We were gone five hours in the morning doing a Warrior Dash and she had a very long nap. We pretty much only saw her for three hours that day. It did not bother her at all that we were gone. This day was a treat for us parents, but we definitely missed our Pen.

Great Grammy's 90th Birthday

We took a trip to Placitas, New Mexico to surprise Penelope's Great Grammy's on her 90th birthday. It was a great time with family and James Dog.
