Thankful

After last week, I am thankful for our health. Many of you know that Caitlin spent almost an entire week in the hospital. She was severely dehydrated. Needless to say it was a week of exhaustion. In the midst of taking care of Cait, I met parents who are in the hospital every few months with their children. My heart broke for them because of the stress and worry they must experience. It made me realize that even though we tend to have really weird illnesses, all in all the Sanders clan is pretty healthy. (Speaking of weird illnesses, Gaven scratched his cornea in three places yesterday. I wished I had taken a picture because it was crazy looking).

On this Thanksgiving, please remember to say a prayer for those who can't be home to enjoy the holidays.

Ms. Brittany

Please meet Ms. Brittany. Ms. Brittany has helped Caitlin find her voice at the Baylor Speech Clinic. We are amazed at Cait's progress and accomplishments. Please join with us in praying blessings over Ms. Brittany's future and offering her a big thank you.

Why??

I think most people would say that I am a patient momma with my children. I really try not to lose my temper, explain why we are being disciplined, etc. All in all I think we have a pretty good relationship at our home. So my question is what have I done to these children? I understand when someone wets the bed. It happens, it is the occupational hazard of being a three year old. Totally get it. Even understand when we don't make it to the potty. Still sweet smiling mommy. BUT when a three year old takes his underwear off and pees on the couch and then is happy about it. What is up with that? Moving on to his sister. Totally get that we are 20 months old and curious about everything. Understand when we pee on the floor right in front of our little potty. It happens, we aren't potty trained. BUT when she takes off her diaper and poops on my couch. (Yes, I also understand if no one wants to sit on my couch anymore). Then after we get past that and try to put it out of our minds, she takes off her diaper during nap time and poops in her bed. Of course she doesn't just poop, she has to smear it and get it everywhere. I find her trying to climb out of the bed because she has finally decided it is gross to play with your poop.

Are they in a conspiracy against me? Have I done something to deserve this kind of retalation???
