Looks can be deceiving

In pictures, it looked like we had a great morning. Keira and Tye were here to play with the boys and the weather was nice & crisp. Ethan and Keira rode stick horses all around the house while Tye and Austin followed. We ate lunch and played outside for a long time. Keira is so sweet and they all get along really well.

The truth is that this morning was tough! Austin is challenging us to see what he can get away with. He refuses to sit down in his high chair or bathtub, isn't napping well and throws fits often now. Eric and I are doing our best to be consistent and follow through with what we say. I think he is hitting the terrible twos early! I don't see any new teeth coming in, so I'm not sure what is bothering him. He is such a sweet, happy little guy normally, so I hate that he is going through such a rough time!

Here is how my day really was!

Austin's day was much brighter after his nap. He woke up happy and ready to play. Erica, Grace and Carter came over to cheer him up and they all had a great time playing outside. Erica also brought over some ice cream. They were all jumping up and down with excitement.

Later we headed outside and the boys jumped in Tye's bouncy. Nothing else can cheer up boys like ice cream and jumping!
