Lex actually threw a temper tantrum yesterday. I couldn't believe it!!! It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. It all started when I wouldn't let him get into the kitchen drawer, so I just rolled him (he was in his walker)to the other room. Well! He did not like that. He started screaming as loud as he could, then the crying started with no tears in sight, he then proceeded to pcik up his walker, yes, he was still in it, and bang the front of it over and over again on the floor.  Kevin and I just looked at each other and were like..."WTF is going on?!" I just stood back and watched as Kevin tried t talk to him. Lex rammed him with hs walker!  I couldn't help myself....I laughed I knwIshouldn't av, ut itwas jst oo amnfny Her is histn ltle boy, only 11 months old, and he already has such a strong personality. Kevin looked at me and said..."This is all your fault, you know?!", he was upset and he actually thought it was my fault!! Of course I just had to ask..."Why is this my fault?"..."Because he acts just like you!! This is you!!! You and your anger!!". I just looked at him and said..."Well, you know.....I'm not the one who throws a fit when I don't get what I want. That's you! You act just like that, not me. Now the ramming.....the ramming he got from me." I just walked away at that point and let him deal with it. I still can't believe he tried to blame Lex's temper tantrum on me! AH! He's the big baby, not me. I'm just mean.

He hasn't done it since, but I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a few of those. I do not tollerate temper tantrums. Not one bit! Thank God Raven was never like that. I never had a problem when I took her out places or at home. She was a very stubborn child though, and still is. I can't wait to see how Lex is going to be. He really is a sweet little boy. Always hugging and kissing and he's never mean. Just that one time he freaked out about the drawer. I don't know, we'll see.

He's doing so much "talking" lately. He can say cat, dog, Mama, Dada, Nina and num-nums (food). Some times we hear him say things, but he never repeats the words. We know he said it, because it's always more than one of us who heard it. He also started bringing me things and trying to make me eat them. LOL! Of course you have to pretend to eat it. He likes that.

Okay, this is going to be a long entry, so I'm going to take a break, get some tea, do some paper work and I'll be back to finish up in a bit.

That's better!!! It's taking me forever to finish this. I started at 1:35, but I keep having to stop to get things done here at work. I opened for Yolanda today and I'll be closing as well. 1-8 p.m.! It's a nice break from home. I love my family, but I'd go crazy if I didn't get out every now and then. And since I don't like going out clubbin' or to bars, work it is! LOL!!! I like it here.

Kevin was away all weekend. Convention season has begun!!! He's going to be gone a lot over the next 5 months or so. It kind of sucks, but oh well. It's worth it in the rnd when Rock & Shock does so well. WOOT! WOOT!!! Of course poor Lex was sick all weekend and we didn't get much sleep. My poor baby was so miserable. I tried putting him in bed with me and he slept right next to me all cuddled up, but Ididn't sleep well at all. Every little noise or movement he made had me jerking awake. LOL! I was so afraid he'd wake up and fall off the bed, so I didn't sleep much at all. He loved it. As soon as he woke up he looked and me and started laughing and trying to hide under the overs. He's so cute.

Raven is gone as well. She's with my Mother till tomorrow night. We have a few houses to look at with Kathy at 2, then after we're done we're going to get her. She's so ready to come home. Her and my Mom stop getting along after the first 48 hours..........they've been together since Friday. LOL!!!!

Lately I've been surfing the web more. I've come across some really great sites. There are so many parenting message boards out there! It's crazy!!! I ran across one and the intro had me cracking up. Go read it for yourself.....Sybermoms! Personally....I never give fake replies. If I don't have anything nice to say, I just don't say anything at all. LOL! I used to just say whatever was on my mind, but I've leaned that you treat people the way you want to be treated. Karma.....it's real.

That's pretty much it for today. OH!! Kevin got me flowers. He said I deserved them for putting up with him. LOL! Damn straight! heheheee!! No, but really though, they are so beautiful! I'll leave you with a nice picture......
