No. 2

February 7, 2014 – 9:51 pm

I’m at my wit’s end. Owen is completely trained—day and night. James James James! No. 1, great. No. 2, refuses. He hides and then comes to us, hands covering his eyes and whispers what he’s done. We have tried e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. For months. Many, many months. We’ve tried charts—three different charts—each with different goals and rewards. […]

New Year’s Resolutions

January 3, 2014 – 12:10 am

Happier

January 10, 2012 – 5:27 pm

The boys didn’t nap today, which doesn’t make any sense because they didn’t sleep well last night.

We were […]
