This is so great! I was just looking at some pictures today of my ds's room after one of their "explosions' and wondering how the heck to scrap it. Hang in there...I love your idea with the background! Great job.
What an exasperating day for u. But so cute when he was trying to put the puzzle together with his head. Well they are the terrible 2's. Btw love the bg. Very nice.
I love how you did this, great take on this challenge. I esp like the painting and the honesty about the challenges of parenthood. That's using you head.
lol.. love that story. Love the painting on this too. I know all about having my buttons pushed as a parent, but they always seem to find a way to put a smile on your face when you need it the most.
Very cool LO with the paints and him helping. Kids do push us parents to breaking points at times. I can relate. However age 2 is tricky because they are still learning and trying to push for independence......Hang in there...
this is a great idea, letting our children help in doing the LOs! gonna try this. Very honest and true journaling! We feel that way many times with our terrible 2s.lol
Fantastic story and equally fantastic layout - kids have a sixth sense for knowing just when to do something cute before you really go over the edge don't they? :)
LOL, oh my what a wonderful story! Great lo, and I completely agree, sometimes being a parent is the most frustrating thing in the world...and then they go and do something cute!
This is for the imperfect lives challenge. I tried to make the LO look imperfect to go with my story. I was trying to show that being a parent is wonderful, but imperfect and does have hard times and ones emotions when dealing with children can be unexpected. I got my ds to help me paint the background for the twist. I got him to reenact the moment so I could photograph it.
The journalling says: Being a mother is the best and most important job I have ever done, however some days are really hard. 2 year olds are a joy, but also very frustrating and exhausting at times. This particular day Liam had gone against everything I said and done the opposite to everything I asked him and I generally felt like he was going out of his way to annoy me. Needless to say when naptime finally came I was very relieved to put him down and was looking forward to a couple of hours of peace and quiet. All was quiet so I went to open his door to peer at my angel sleeping, what I was greeted by was far from angelic… Liam had trashed his room. Things were pulled off the shelves, the nappy bag unpacked and thrown around and his puzzle mat, pulled into as many pieces as it could be. I yelled at him and closed the door and in no time he was asleep. When he woke we started the challenge of tidying the room, we had it all clean except the puzzle needed building. I was attempting to get him to do it and he was pushing a letter in backwards, in utter frustration I said, “For Goodness sake use your head!” At this he got up on all fours and started to push the puzzle piece in with his head. Unexpectedly there was nothing left for me to do but laugh and I just hugged my terrible 2!
